Green Olive and Caper Tapenade

A tapenade is often a great appetizer late in the afternoon or just before dinner with a glass of wine or some spirits. We enjoy this tapenade along with a half of a cracked Dungeness crab, or some Gravlax, or smoked salmon cream cheese spread.

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 5 tbsp capers

  • ½ C green olives

  • 1 tbsp garlic, crushed (about 4 cloves)

  • 2 anchovy filets

  • Rinse canned anchovy filets in fresh water very well. Finely chop and mix all ingredients together. You may need to use the back of a tablespoon to mash the various ingredients together. Stir, then mash again to make the tapenade. Chill for 1 hour or more. Serve with rounds of French bread or crackers.
