Tapenade (olive spread)

Tapenade or olive spread is made in Provence.
This is the original recipe.

You can make green olive or black olive tapenade.
You can even mix both black and green olives its delicious too!




Ingredients:
1 can of black olives (the best are greek-italian-nicoise style) - or green olives-
----Pitted olives are better and easier to prepare but the non pitted ones are tastier-----
1/2 little jar of capers (see picture)
10 anchovies filets
2 garlic cloves (more or less to taste)
Olive oil

How to make it:

Take a small blender and put all the ingredients together.
Add some olive oil.
Blend until it looks like the picture.
You can add olive oil until you get the needed consistency.

Spread it on some good bread toasts, use it in salads to add some provence flavors to it (use tapenade, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar), or a little bit on your pasta sauce, etc ... .

Enjoy !!
