🧂 Ingredientes
- 250 g Black olives(pitted, preferably Kalamata or Niçoise for best flavor)
- 3 tbsp Capers(drained)
- 6 Anchovy fillets(packed in oil, drained)

👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the pitted black olives, drained capers, drained anchovy fillets, and peeled garlic cloves. Ensure the olives are roughly chopped before adding if they are whole.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Pulse the ingredients in the food processor about 10-15 times until coarsely chopped. The texture should be rustic and slightly chunky, not a smooth paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
With the food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. Continue processing until the mixture is well combined and has a paste-like consistency, but still retains some texture.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Add the fresh lemon juice and pulse a few more times to incorporate. Taste the tapenade and adjust seasoning if necessary. You might want to add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, but avoid adding salt as the capers and anchovies are already salty.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 5
Transfer the tapenade to a serving bowl. For best flavor, let it rest for at least 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. Serve with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or an assortment of fresh crudités like bell peppers, cucumber, and carrots.
