Equipment

Ingredients

Easy Black Olive Tapenade recipe

  • 1 ½ cup sliced black olives Note 1
  • 1 cup kalamata olives Note 2
  • ¼ cup capers drained
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and end cut off
  • 4 anchovies
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Note 3
  • cup parsley
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Toast points to serve

Instructions

Black Olive Tapenade

  • Add sliced black olives, kalamata olives, capers, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, parsley and olive olive to the bowl of a food processor
  • Blitz for 5 seconds to chop and combine
  • Transfer tapenade to a serving bowl
  • Serve with toast points

Notes

  • Note 1 You can use sliced or pitted black olives. But don't get olives and try and remove the pits as that will take too much time! 
  • Note 2 Kalamata Olives are known as a black olive type. They are a deep reddy/purple in colour and have a very distinct salty flavour about them. 
  • Note 3 Bottled lemon juice is totally fine to use for this recipe. Don't give it a 2nd thought! x 
  • Note 4 I have used both curly parsley (shown in the photos) and flat leaf parsley at times for this recipe and both are perfect to use, either or, whichever you have or can get is fine!
