Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Olives

    In a food processor, combine the black olives and green olives. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Add the drained capers, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, and ground black pepper to the food processor.

  3. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    Pulse the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and form a coarse paste. Scrape down the sides as needed.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the tapenade and adjust seasoning as necessary. You may add more olive oil for a smoother texture or more lemon juice for acidity.

Serving

  1. 5

    Transfer and Chill

    Transfer the tapenade to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tapenade with sliced baguette, crackers, or as a condiment for grilled meats and vegetables.
