Time 5m

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/3 cup brined capers (from a 3.75-ounce jar), drained and coarsely chopped

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Tips:

  • Use a variety of olives. Different types of olives will give your tapenade different flavors and textures. Try using a combination of black, green, and Kalamata olives.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with other ingredients. You can add a variety of other ingredients to your tapenade, such as sun-dried tomatoes, anchovies, or pine nuts.
  • Taste your tapenade as you go. This will help you adjust the flavors to your liking. If you find that your tapenade is too salty, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey.
  • Let your tapenade rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can store your tapenade in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Caper tapenade is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on bread or crackers, used as a dip for vegetables or chips, or stirred into pasta or rice dishes.
