Method

Haricot Verts Preparation

  1. 1

    Blanch the Haricot Verts

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricot verts and blanch for about 3-4 minutes until they are vibrant green and tender-crisp.

  2. 2

    Shock in Ice Water

    Immediately transfer the blanched haricot verts to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Season

    Drain the haricot verts from the ice water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. In a large bowl, toss the blanched haricot verts with olive oil, salt, Aleppo pepper, and lemon juice until evenly coated.

Tapenade Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tapenade

    In a food processor, combine the black olives, capers, minced garlic, olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, and lemon juice. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended but still chunky.

  2. 5

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the tapenade and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or olive oil to achieve desired consistency.
