Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped anchovy fillet
1 teaspoon capers (preferably salt-packed), rinsed, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
1 1/4 cups Niçoise olives, pitted, divided
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for brushing and drizzling
1 tablespoon (packed) chopped fresh basil plus 24 whole leaves for garnish
24 basil leaves
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
6 6-inch-long pieces ficelle or narrow baguette, split horizontally in half
6 thin prosciutto slices
2 8-ounce balls fresh mozzarella cheese, drained, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Combine first 5 ingredients in mortar; mash with pestle to paste. Add 1 cup olives and mash to coarse paste. Chop remaining 1/4 cup olives and stir into mixture. Mix in 1/4 cup olive oil, chopped basil, and lemon juice. Season tapenade with pepper. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

These sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I added some roasted red peppers and zucchini to mine and they were delicious.
