Tuna Tapenade image

This is a wonderful version of tapenade, the Provençal olive paste. Serve it with croutons or raw vegetables, or use it as a filling for deviled eggs. Mash the hard-cooked yolks with the tapenade and spoon or pipe into the hard-cooked whites.

Time 10m

Yield Makes about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound imported black olives, pitted
2 garlic cloves, halved, green shoots removed
1 1/2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed thoroughly with cold waterrinsed
2-4 anchovy fillets (optional)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 can olive-oil packed light (not albacore) tuna
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make sure that there are no pits mixed in with your olives.
  • Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop in the garlic. When finely chopped and adhering to the sides of the machine, stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining ingredients except the tuna and puree to a smooth paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the tuna. Process until you have a smooth paste. Add freshly ground pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.

This is the worst tuna tapenade recipe I have ever tried. It was bland, oily, and salty. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I would not recommend this recipe. The tapenade was not very good and it was a waste of time and money.

This recipe is not worth the effort. The tapenade was not very flavorful and it took a long time to make.

The tapenade was too oily for my liking. I would recommend draining the tuna more thoroughly before making the tapenade.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to give it more flavor.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt, or omitting it altogether.

I was skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I was pleasantly surprised! The tapenade was creamy and flavorful, and the tuna added a nice briny touch.
