Tapenade with sun-dried tomatoes, black and green olives, herbs and lemon flavors. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup green olives, pitted and chopped
  • ¼ cup black olives pitted and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed well
  • 3 slices or 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • ½ garlic clove, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • ½ tablespoon fresh mint, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Using a mortar, mash the olives with capers, sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. Pound in the herbs. Add in olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and stir well.

Notes

I use store-bought sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, so I don’t need any soaking. If your tomatoes are dry, soak them in boiling water until they soften and then use them in the recipe.

If you use a food processor, put everything in it and pulse until it’s chunky or smooth.
