FIG AND OLIVE TAPENADE

This is an easy gourmet appetizer. I've brought this to several parties and it is always a hit! I often add some chopped green olives to the olive mixture and a little more balsamic. Goat cheese may also be used in place of the cream cheese. Serve with slices of French bread or crackers.

FIG-OLIVE TAPENADE

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Fruit     Olive     Vegetable     Fig

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (85 g) stemmed and quartered dried Black Mission figs
1 cup (250 ml) water
1 cup (170 g) black olives, rinsed and pitted
1 garlic clove, peeled
2 teaspoons capers, rinsed and drained
2 anchovy fillets
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, simmer the figs in the water with the lid askew for 10 to 20 minutes, until very tender. Drain.
  • 2. If using a mortar and pestle, mash the olives with the garlic, capers, anchovies, mustard, and rosemary. (Sometimes I chop the olives first, which means less pounding later.) Pound in the figs. Once they are broken up, stir in the lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 3. If using a food processor, pulse the olives, figs, garlic, capers, anchovies, mustard, rosemary, and lemon juice to create a thick paste. Pulse in the olive oil until you've achieved a chunky-smooth paste. Don't overdo it; good tapenade should be slightly rough. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary.

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup pitted black olives
1/3 cup walnuts
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
3 dried figs, stems removed
2 teaspoons honey
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon apple-cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Pulse all ingredients in a mini food processor until they form a rough paste (do not overprocess, as the paste should retain some texture). Let stand 1 hour before serving.

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the olives, figs, and capers by hand.
  • To make a smoother tapenade, process it for a longer period of time.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of red wine vinegar to brighten the flavors.
  • For a spicier tapenade, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Garnish the tapenade with fresh herbs, such as basil, thyme, or rosemary.

Conclusion:
