Olive Tapenade

This one is a favorite at all out cookouts and parties.
Dave's original recipe

   1/2 cup brine cured olives, pitted
   1 cup kalamata olives, pitted
   1 large shallot, chopped
   3 anchovy fillets, chopped
   2 tablespoons capers
   6 cloves garlic, chopped
   1 tablespoon lemon juice
   1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
   1 french baguette, sliced into 1/2" rounds
   Extra virgin olive oil



________________________________________
1. Place olives, shallot, anchovies, garlic, capers and lemon juice in processor.

2. Pulse processor while pouring in olive oil. Mixture should be a coarse peanut butter-like texture.

3. Brush baguette slices with olive oil and grill till golden on both sides.

4. Warm tapenade in microwave, spread over grilled baguette.

I add a little garlic to mine. Plus I don't use canned black olives, because to me they lack flavor.
 
But it's hard to go wrong with a tapenade.

Hmmmmph! Read your recipe three times, Dave, and didn't see the garlic. Maybe it's time for a new eyeglass prescription? Cry
 
For a change of pace, I sometimes make a green tapenade, using the giant Sicillian olives. The recipe is basically the same.

I make something similar, with celery and all those olives and garlic, marinated in olive oil and vinegar and spices and then I put them in a sandwich called a muffalotta--big bread crusty, italian meats and cheese, served cold. MMMMMMMMMM yum! olives!!

Feather,
See Sandwich Thread and photos in bread section. 
Dan Gone Fishin had done a lovely spread on the dynamic New Orleans Italian Sandwich. 
Interesting spread take on the Greek specialty though it is popular in Olive growing regions of Italy and Spain too. 
 
Kindest.
