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.

GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE

Original tapenade usually has black olives in it, I find that this is much better using green! Trust me, you won't be able to stop yourself from keeping your spoon out of this.Plan ahead this needs to chill overnight before serving, yeah right...I can say that you will have at least half of this eaten before the next day arrives LOL! This is fantastic on crostini or crackers. You can cut the recipe in half if desired.

  • If you prefer a smoother tapenade, then process longer (I prefer a chunkier texure).

  • *NOTE* you can add in salt if desired but I don't think you will need to, as this is salty already.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe green olives. Look for olives that are plump and have a deep green color.
  • If you don't have capers, you can substitute chopped cornichons or pickles.
  • To make the tapenade smoother, pulse it in a food processor or blender until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If you prefer a chunkier tapenade, chop the olives and capers by hand.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten the flavors of the tapenade.
  • Season the tapenade with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the tapenade with crackers, bread, or vegetables.
