Easy Black Olive Tapenade With A Green Olive Version Too Recipes

SIMPLE BLACK AND GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE

Steps:

• Add black olives, green olives, garlic, oregano, and capers to a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
• Add 1 tbsp olive oil and pulse again until it has the texture you want, scraping down the sides when necessary. I like it pretty finely chopped, but not a paste. Add an additional 1 tbsp olive oil if desired.
• Enjoy on sandwiches, turkey and chicken burgers, on crackers or crostini, or any other way you can think of!

• Process about 15 seconds, scrape down the edges with a spatula and add the other 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Process again until almost smooth but still a little bit chunky(about 30 seconds). You should not be able to see any garlic chunks left but it shouldn't be a super smooth paste either
