Tapenade (Olive Spread)

This is a really simple dish to prepare and it’s always a big hit at parties. My father recommends:

Ingredients

• 1 8oz. jar sundried tomatoes
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 2/3 c. kalamata olives
• 1 t. capers

Instructions

1. Combine tomatoes and garlic in a food processor. Blend until as smooth as possible.
2. Add capers and olives. Pulse the motor a few times until they are incorporated, but still retain some texture.
3. Serve on thin toast rounds with goat cheese and fresh basil garnish (optional).
