Olive Tapenade

I just love olive tapenade!  And once it’s made, I use it for so many things, like dipping with crackers, baking on a baguette, and topping a hamburger on the grill–I know, sounds yummy right??  Plus, it’s so easy to throw together.  I usually don’t use a recipe, so this time I tried to write down what I used so I could share it with you, so here goes…
Olive Tapenade
INGREDIENTS:
5.75 ounces manzanilla olives-minced
3.8 ounces black olives-minced
1/2 a small can pimentos-chopped
1 tablespoon roasted garlic-minced
1 tablespoon capers-smashed up a bit
1 teaspoon dry mustard
pepper to taste
2-3 tablespoons olive oil-or enough to bind it all together
DIRECTIONS:
Mix all ingredients together, let sit in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to let the tastes meld together and then eat up!  See, simple as can be.

    I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but I'm not a big olive fan. My husband, on the other hand, would LOVE this! I may have to make it for him just because I love him that much.

    Gotta try it. Hubs loves olives, and I HATE olives except in tapenade, which I adore. Can't wait to check it out!
