I'm going to make a simple olive tapenade for my wife this weekend and am looking for ingredient suggestions and/or complete recipies. I found this one and it looks resonable, but since I have never done one before any input would be welcome.
12 oz. Kalamata olives, pitted
3 oz. capers, rinsed
2 Anchovy fillets, rinsed and dried
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. dijon mustard
5 sprigs fresh Thyme, stemmed and chopped fine
3 tbl. chopped Parsley
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
juice of one lemon
1 tsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 cup plus extra virgin olive oil (add more to get proper consistency)
combine in food processor.
Thoughts? Omissions or additions? I love tapenade, but have only eaten and not been privy to the recipes that I have had.
