Tuna Tapenade image

This is a wonderful version of tapenade, the Provençal olive paste. Serve it with croutons or raw vegetables, or use it as a filling for deviled eggs. Mash the hard-cooked yolks with the tapenade and spoon or pipe into the hard-cooked whites.

Time 10m

Yield Makes about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound imported black olives, pitted
2 garlic cloves, halved, green shoots removed
1 1/2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed thoroughly with cold waterrinsed
2-4 anchovy fillets (optional)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 can olive-oil packed light (not albacore) tuna
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make sure that there are no pits mixed in with your olives.
  • Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop in the garlic. When finely chopped and adhering to the sides of the machine, stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining ingredients except the tuna and puree to a smooth paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the tuna. Process until you have a smooth paste. Add freshly ground pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.

I'm going to try this recipe again, but I'll make a few changes. I'll use less salt, blend it for longer, and add some extra ingredients to give it more flavor.

I'm not sure if I would make this recipe again. It was a lot of work for a dish that I didn't really enjoy.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tapenade didn't turn out as smooth as I expected. Maybe I didn't blend it for long enough?

This recipe is a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tapenade turned out really bland. Maybe I didn't add enough salt?
