Tapenade

@arecipe.bsky.social

Tapenade is a traditional provencale paste of olives, anchovies and capers. Although some versions exclude the capers, the word tapenade has its origins in the provencale tapena (caper).

Ingredients

  • 6 cured anchovies
  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup (240 ml) pitted black olives
  • Extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1
    Blend the anchovies, capers and olives. For this a blender is better than the traditional mortar and pestle.
  2. 2
    Mix in a few tablespoons olive oil until smooth.
  3. 3
    Serve on toast as an amuse-bouche, or with boiled eggs, with goat cheese and roasted peppers, or on potato gnocchi.
