A Wine Snack Tapenade instructions

Just put all the ingredients in a food processor and process. Chop up the garlic clove beforehand and remove the sprout in the center (this is to not have chunks of garlic in the paste)..
If you are using pine nuts you can just put them in the food processor. If you are using walnuts or other large nuts, chop them up roughly as with the garlic before adding to the food processor..
Process for a few seconds, then scrape down the sides of the bowl before processing some more so that everything is evenly incorporated (add black pepper to taste)..
I personally recommend that you stop processing when the tapenade is still a little chunky, rather than turning it into a smooth paste (about the consistency of small grain caviar.).
Spread on toast or crackers. Combine with cream cheese and tomato to make bruschetta. Use as a flavoring for tomato sauce, dressing or pasta..

Plus, a little goes a long way; someone unfamiliar with tapenade might try a huge heaping tablespoon on a tiny piece of bread and be overwhelmed. Tapenade is a Provençal name for a spread, condiment and culinary ingredient consisting of puréed or finely chopped olives, capers, and anchovies. Olive Tapenade originates from France and is a mix of finely ground or blended olives, olive oil, and capers- and sometimes anchovies. Stuff the olive tapenade inside Peppadew peppers, with a little vegan cream cheese. Add a couple tablespoons to an Egg-less Salad Sandwich in the place of relish.
