FIG-OLIVE TAPENADE WITH PROSCIUTTO AND PERSIMMON



Fig-Olive Tapenade With Prosciutto and Persimmon image

Adding chopped dried figs to tapenade lends a fruity note that contrasts with the briny Kalamata olives in this thick, garlic-spiked spread. Here, it's served alongside silky slices of prosciutto and juicy persimmon to echo and round out those sweet-salty flavors. If you're starting with soft, plump dried figs, you don't need to soak them first. Just chop them up and add to the food processor with the olives. Leftover tapenade will keep for at least a week or two in the fridge, and makes a terrific condiment for sandwiches, or serve it with roasted chicken or meats.
