Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green olives (pitted)
- 1 cup Black olives (pitted)
- 2 tablespoons Capers (rinsed and drained)
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- to taste Salt (optional)
Instructions
Add the green olives, black olives, capers, and minced garlic to a food processor or blender.
Pulse the mixture a few times until the ingredients are coarsely chopped.
Add the fresh parsley, lemon juice, dried oregano, and black pepper to the food processor.
While pulsing, gradually drizzle in the olive oil until the desired consistency is reached. The tapenade should be thick and slightly chunky.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed, but go light as the olives and capers are already salty.
Transfer the tapenade to a serving dish and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Serve with crusty bread, crackers, or use as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.
