Lemon-Olive Tapenade
Lemon-Olive Tapenade made with Abingdon Olive Oil Company infused oil and specialty Lemon Rind-Stuffed Manzanilla Olives.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Abingdon Olive Oil Company Lemon Rind-Stuffed Green Olives,
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- 1/4 cup black, ripe olives, pitted
- 2 tablespoons brined capers, drained
- 1 teaspoon garlic, grated on a zester or finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh Mediterranean oregano leaves
- 1/2 cup Italian parsley leaves, loosely packed, see Notes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste, see Notes
- 1/4 cup Abingdon Olive Oil Company Lemon Infused Olive Oil, link HERE
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
- pinch kosher salt, or to taste
- crusty, French bread, sliced, toasted, for serving
- hearty crackers for serving
Instructions
- Place the olives, capers, garlic, oregano, and parsley in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped. Scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary in between pulsing.
- In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, anchovy paste, oil, and black pepper until well combined. Remove the lid of the food processor and pour the mixture evenly over the chopped olives. This will allow more even distribution of the ingredients with less pulsing, which results in a better textured tapenade. Taste for seasoning and adjust as desired.
- Scrape the mixture into a serving bowl and give it a good stir before serving.
- Serve with toasted French bread and/or hearty crackers.
Notes
AOOC Garlic Infused Olive Oil would be a good substitute for the Lemon oil.
You may use less anchovy paste if you must, but I would not omit it completely.
Save the stems of the parsley for stock or soups. If you do not want to take the time to remove the leaves, at least discard any stiff, hearty stems. I prefer to just use the tender leaves in this tapenade recipe.
