Tapenades

living in Provence has given me many rich culinary moments..hopefully i come away with some good recipes and knowledge.

my favorite time of the day here is 'apero' time - just before dinner. time for a small drink and 'amuses bouches' - something to amuse the mouth. tapenade is served a lot in bars/restaurants and i thought i'd give it a go at home after living here 2 years. yum.

Tapenade

good amount of black olives
2 filet anchovies
little piece of garlic
spoon of capers
bit of lemon
olive oil

blend all and serve with bread, toasties..

Tapenade Verte

good amount of green olives
2 filet anchovies
little piece of garlic
spoon of capers
fresh or dried thyme
olive oil

haven't tried this one yet. was thinking to replace the anchovies with some soaked and peeled almonds to make it vegetarian.
