I was in a shop today and I saw a small jar of sun-dried tomato tapenade but it cost a small fortune. This recipe is full of fresh ingredients and no additives. It is great to spread on some crackers or on your favourite fresh bread---try some Italian or French stick, or even inside a wrap to flavour things up a bit! This will make about 2 cups.
Ingredients:
2 cups sun-dried tomato, drained (reserve oil)
4 medium cloves of garlic, peeled
2 heaping tbsps capers packed in brine, drained
2 tsps dried basil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano
4 tbsps of reserved oil from the sun-dried tomatoes & 4 tbsps of olive oil infused with chili peppers and rosemary (see my recipe from earlier this month---this stuff is great to have on hand to spice up a recipe easily)
2 tbsps red wine vinegar
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in food processor and chop into a coarse puree. Taste and add more seasoning or oil if needed, stirring in extras by hand to avoid over-processing.
2. Scrape into a bowl and store, covered, in refrigerator .
