This olive-caper-and-anchovie paste, usually served on toast as an appetizer, has a strong Mediterranian flavor. Tapenade (or the similar anchoïade) can also be used as a basting paste for fowl or beef, or as a stuffing for turkey. Part of the flavor comes from using good "strong" black olives, and the uniqueness comes from the capers (tapeno is Provençal for caper). Recipe (4 servings)
300 g black olives pitted [olives noirs]
200 g capers [câpres]
100 g white tuna [thon blanc]
10 anchovies washed, in strips [anchois]
2 cups olive oil [huile d'olive]
|
1 teasp mustard [moutarde]
1 sprig basil [basilic]
1 clove garlic [ail]
salt, pepper, thyme, laurel
|
1. Grind together in a mortar the olives, capers, anchovies, tuna and garlic.
2. Add the mustard, herbs, spices and olive oil, and beat thouroughly until you have a smooth paste.
