Olive tapenade

Olive tapenade

A classic, simple and adaptable tapenade with a zing of lemon and pepper that will bring a little ray of sunshine to raw vegetables or fish.

SERVES:  4 PREP TIME:  10 mins

Ingredients

  • 200g pitted olives (mild ones work well e.g. kalamata or la verde)
  • 1 garlic clove, loosely chopped
  • ½ cup fresh parsley, loosely chopped
  • Juice of one lemon
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

  1. Place all the ingredients (reserving a teaspoon of parsley for the garnish) in a food processor and blend until you have the consistency you like.
  2. Serve in a bowl garnished with the remaining parsley.

Inspiration and top tips

  • Try roasting the garlic for an explosive expanded flavour.
  • Use different fresh herbs like coriander, basil or oregano.
  • This goes beautifully with fish and is amazing as a dip for crudités.
