Olive Tapenade 

Olive Tapenade Recipe: Ingredients: -3/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted & drained -3/4 cup Pimiento-stuffed Green olives, drained -1 1/2 cups Giardiniera Salad (jarred Italian-style pickled veggies), drained, pepper seeds and stems removed -3/4 cup Parsley leaves, rinsed and dried -2 whole Anchovy Fillets (in oil), finely chopped (you can add a TBSP of the oil from anchovy can, if you like) -3 scant TBSP brined Capers, drained -2 small cloves Garlic, minced finely -1/2 of a roasted red bell pepper, drained well and finely diced. -2 Tsp dried Italian seasoning herbs (you can substitute with fresh herbs to taste) -2 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar -2 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil Instructions: Combine the first 6 ingredients in a food processor. Give it 5-6 2-second pulses until roughly chopped (you can adjust this to your preference). Transfer mix to a large mixing bowl. Mix diced roasted pepper, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, vinegar, and olive oil in a small bowl and add into your processed tapenade mix. Stir well. You can add some ground black pepper (optional). Serve on sandwiches (especially Muffulettas), burgers, as a topping for all kinds of main dishes, or serve with crackers/bread/chips as a condiment or relish. Tip: If you don’t like anchovies, you can replace with 2 TBSP of fish sauce, or skip altogether. Enjoy!

I had a recipe very close to this but lost it years ago. Thanks for posting.

I love this! Mine is almost the same, but I also add black olives and cocktail onions. I haven't used anchovies before so will be adding to my next batch 😁 Thank you!

I realize this is an older video, but Ben you inspired me to make this this morning and got a big thumbs up from my wife and some friends from New Orleans. Thank you!😄

Thank you! Looks wonderful!👍

I had some last year and it changed my life. It goes so well in my vegetarian dishes.

Love Love Tapenade 🙏✨

It seems a great Mediterrane mixture, I like to try it. Maybe, I consume as a salad instead of Tapenade. Also, instead of anchovy add tuna and red wine is a better choice instead of the vinegar Anyway; dear Ben, appreciate for introducing a new guest to our table, Tapenade

Love it! So easy to follow. You guys have a blessed new year!

Looks delicious!

Colorful. Well explained. Thanks

Vodka martini and olive tampenade. What more could I ask for.

thanks so kuch

Great video and your recipe looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Hi chef Bagheri. I have seen other recipes for tapenade but this was unique since you used dried Italian herbs and seasonings and pickled vegetables. Your suggested recipe looks good and I will try it for sure. I can suggest putting it on grilled swordfish or other types of fish that can stand this topping or even roasted or grilled chicken. By adding a little more extra olive oil it can make an excellent topping for suitable fish. Thanks for the recipe

I'm not an anchovie fan but the rest of the recipe looked great.

It is also great adding one or two smoked sardines mashed up into it.

Good day sir, can't wait to try this recipe. I have an unrelated question though. Can you tell me about your knife? Brand? Where I might find? And does is come in a set? Thank you

Curious how long the left-over amount keeps in the fridge with anchovies in it. Would 2-3 days be alright?

Ive never seen it with Giardenaria.

Just made this and followed instructions to the letter. Have to admit it’s a little strong for my taste. Anything I can add to tone it down just a little. Otherwise, beautiful.

HhhAhhhh!!! Do i see the word Persian...!! Oh my Gosh!! And Olives..oh my!!

That is a saled

Not really tapenade though is it.

Too much stuff in the mix. Only olives and olive oil. NO PICKLED VEGETABLES. Do not need herbs and spices. Good olives and good olive oil, don't mess up a good thing with unneeded extras.
