Categories     Spreads

Time 15m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups green olives, pitted
1/3 cup whole untoasted almonds
1 small garlic clove, peeled and minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaf
1/2 cup olive oil
sea salt (go easy) or kosher salt, to taste (go easy)

Steps:

  • Put the olives, almonds, garlic, lemon juice, and capers in the bowl of a food processor. (David Lebovitz suggests not using a mortar and pestle for this because he desires the slightly chunky bits of almonds in the finished tapenade.).
  • Coarsely chop the basil leaves, add them to the processor and pulse the machine a few times to start breaking them down.
  • Add the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Pulse the food processor until the mixture forms a coarse paste, one that still has a little texture provided by the not-entirely-broken-down almonds.
  • The tapenade will keep for up to one week in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Olives: Opt for high-quality green olives, preferably Kalamata or Castelvetrano, for a robust flavor.

  • Adjust Seasoning: Taste the tapenade and adjust the salt, pepper, and herbs as desired.
