PERFECT TAPENADE

We eat tapenade with just about everything... : our cheese platters, on crackers, as a dip for nachos, a spread for a ciabatta sandwich and even as a filling for our amazing stuffed chicken breasts!



You can finely chop the below ingredients or just use a blender. You can adjust the quantities to your preferred taste. Sometimes you need an extra squeeze of lemon or more anchovies... etc.


  • 1 Packet/jar of black olives (pitted)
  • 4 Anchovies
  • 2 Cloves of garlic
  • Black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • A few basil leaves finely chopped.
  • 1 Tablespoon of olive oil


or you can make our PERFECT PESTO PLUS!
Sometimes you are in the mood for a simple traditional tapenade in which case you can use the above recipe. When in the mood for something a bit more interesting try this:

Use the above recipe with half green and half black olives and then simply add any/ all of the below extras to the original recipe.


  • A tablespoon of capers
  • Half a wheel of greek feta
  • A tablespoon of basil pesto
