Recently a friend of mine asked me for a tapenade recipe. Tapenade is easy to make and super versatile. It can be used as a dip, for bruschetta, or for a sandwich spread. Often times I will coat a chicken breast with it and roast in the oven. You can use any kind of olives that you want, except canned olives. Make sure that all pits are removed.

Ingredients

10 Ounces Kalamata Olives (Pitted & Minced)
4 Garlic Cloves (Minced)
3 Tablespoons Capers (Rinsed & Drained)
3 Tablespoons Minced Fresh Italian Parsley
1 Tablespoon Minced Lemon Peel
1 Teaspoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Filled Anchovy (Rinsed & Minced)

In a medium-size bowl, combine Kalamata olives, garlic, capers, parsley, anchovies, lemon peel, lemon juice, and pepper. Add olive oil and mix thoroughly. Makes 2 Cups
