Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups spanish manzanilla olives, pitted
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 teaspoon capers, drained
1/4 cup extra virgin Spanish olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the cilantro and pepper.
  • Let rest at room temperature for 1 hour for flavors to blossom.
  • Serve on large croutons that have been brushed with oil and toasted.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful olives for the best tapenade. Look for olives that are plump and have a deep color.
  • If you don't have capers, you can use chopped gherkins or cornichons instead.
  • For a smoother tapenade, pulse the ingredients in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment until they are finely chopped.
  • If you prefer a chunkier tapenade, chop the ingredients by hand with a sharp knife.
  • Store the tapenade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Serve the tapenade with crackers, bread, or vegetables.
