Olive Tapenade Recipe

Olive Tapenade Recipe

Olive tapenade is a spread made of olives mainly. Black or green olives are ground to a coarse or fine consistency with garlic and seasoning. I came up with a quick recipe to honor this appetizer. It's a traditional spread from southern France, and they have been making olive tapenade tapas there since ever. You can serve it up over baguette slices or with crackers as a dip. I just love it as a little snack with some bread while I'm binge watching my favorite show. The recipe has been enhanced so that you can easily make it at home from scratch.

Seriously - who removed the stones from olives like that? Crush the olive under something heavy and then just pull them out. If the olive is too firm for that to work, just get a different olive - life is too short :)
