Classic Mediterranean ingredients, olives, capers and anchovies, are combined to make this flavoursome dip. Choose whether you prefer a rough or smooth textured finish and serve with bread and crudité for dipping.
250g/9oz black olives, pitted
6 anchovy fillets, chopped
50ml extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 lemon, juice only
3 tbsp capers, chopped
Handful of parsley
Pinch of salt and pepper
1) To make a rough textured tapenade, simply mix and crush all the ingredients together, adding enough olive oil to form a paste.
2) For a smoother texture, tip the garlic, lemon juice, capers and anchovy into a food processor and process for about 10 seconds. Add the olives and parsley and enough olive oil to make a paste. Season to taste if necessary.
