You're a blender whir away from a traditional French condiment. Delicious served on crackers or with raw veggies.

Expert Tips

Tapenade comes from Provence in France and is a condiment made from capers, anchovies, ripe olives, olive oil, lemon juice and seasonings.

Capers are the flower buds of a shrub that grows around the Mediterranean. The buds are dried and then pickled in a vineger brine. Capers enliven sauces and are especially delicious with many fish and veal dishes.

I used pine nuts in place of walnuts and used one small jalepano. It is one of my fovorit "go to" recipes for parties. It looks as great as it taste. I serve it with bread or in a pinch will use triscuits.

This is absolutely perfect. Used green and black olives and a little less olive oil. I took it to a party and everybody wanted the recipe. It was good served with a little cream cheese with it on a cracker or thin slice of Italian bread

Definitely use a food processor (used a blender when I did it and, over the course of 3 batches, got textures ranging from muddy to very chunky). Also might want to cut back on the oil a bit but you can make that call as you blend it. The flavor is phenomenal and this got rave reviews from the olive fiends at my dinner party. Rosemary offers a delightful flavor kick.
