Provided by á-174942

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cans pitted black olives - (8 oz ea) drained
3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 heads endive - (abt 1/2 lb)

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, add the olives, sun-dried tomatoes and the olive oil it was packed in. Pulse until smooth, but still chunky. Add more extra-virgin olive oil if mixture is too dry. Spoon into a serving bowl. If not serving immediately, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days. Be sure to bring it to room temperature and to mix it thoroughly before serving. Gently pull off the leaves from the endive, being carefully not to tear the leaves. Wash thoroughly with cold water and dry completely. Place the bowl of tapenade in the center of a large platter. Decoratively circle the tapenade bowl with the endive leaves working your way to the rim of the platter. This recipe yields 12 appetizer servings.

Tips:

  • When selecting olives for your tapenade, choose a variety that is briny and flavorful, such as Kalamata or Castelvetrano olives.
  • If you are using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, be sure to drain them well before using.
  • To add a bit of heat to your tapenade, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • For a smoother tapenade, blend it in a food processor until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If you prefer a chunkier tapenade, chop the olives and sun-dried tomatoes by hand.

Conclusion:

Olive sun-dried tomato tapenade is a versatile condiment that can be used as a dip, sandwich spread, or marinade. It is also a great way to add flavor to pasta dishes, pizzas, and grilled meats. With its salty, briny, and tangy flavor, olive sun-dried tomato tapenade is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
