Tapenade

A classic appetizer - toast up crostini to go alongside it.

Get our your mini prep! If you're feeding a crowd, double or triple the recipe and bust out the full sized Cusinart.

Pulse in mini-prep until nicely chopped up:

• 1 cup pitted kalamatas, inspected for rogue pits so they don't get lodged in the processor blade

• 2 T fresh parsley

• 1-2 cloves garlic

• pinch salt

Add, pulsing gently just to combine:

• 1-2 T olive oil, best you've got 

You can add more olive oil if you like. I tend to favor it a bit on the dry side.

Serve alongside Roma Tomato Bruschetta , also pictured.
