The Three Olive Tapenade blends kalamata, green, and black olives with capers, roasted red bell pepper, garlic, and a mix of fresh parsley and basil. Pulsed to a chunky texture, it preserves the colorful pieces of fruit and pepper, offering a vibrant contrast and complex, salty-savory flavor. It serves as a versatile dip or spread suitable for appetizers or snacks.

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces kalamata olives drained
  • 5.75 ounces green olives drained (with or without pimentos)
  • 6 ounces black olives drained
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 red bell pepper roughly chopped, roasted
  • 1 tablespoon parsley roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon basil roughly chopped
  • 3 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the olives, capers, garlic, and red pepper into a food processor.
  2. Pulse in 1-second intervals 10 times and then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  3. Add the herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil and pulse another 10 times or so, stopping in the middle to scrape down the sides of the bowl. You want the pieces to be 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch in size so you can see all the colors of the olives and peppers.
  4. Transfer to a dip bowl and serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • All olives should be pitted before preparing to ensure ease of blending.
  • Measure approximately 1 cup for each type of olive for balanced flavor and consistency.
