Fig and Olive Tapenade is Best Food Recipe

by Sutter Buttes Olive Oil Co Balsamic Vinegar

Simple tools are required to make Fig and Olive Tapenade. All you need is a sauce pan, knife, and chopping board. A more blended, pureed tapenade will result from making this in a food processor. You get a tapenade with larger bits if you slice everything with a knife, as I typically do (mostly to prevent extra dishes). The choice is yours: more cutting or more dishes; both choices turn out to be delectable.

 

The combination of the dish's various flavours—salty olives, sweet figs, hot pepper, and savoury herbs and garlic—is superb. This recipe is amazing because it contains all those flavours in a single bite. The strained yoghurt and crackers go well with the fig and olive tapenade. Goat cheese can be used as a substitute if you don't have strained yoghurt on hand. The strong tastes of the tapenade blend nicely with goat cheese or yogurt's creamy mouth-coating texture. Walnuts, if you have them on hand, are another excellent garnish that, in a similar way, softens the strong flavours.

 

What is olive tapenade

 

Olive Tapenade, which has French origins, is a concoction of capers, olives, olive oil, and, occasionally, anchovies. Also, it only takes a few minutes to prepare. With no anchovies, this vegan version has a lemony, salty, briny flavour that pairs well with a variety of various cuisines and snack options. Tapenade is used as a condiment for many different meals all throughout the world. It frequently goes with chicken dishes, steak slices, and pork chops. Seafood dishes like prawns, mussels and scampi pair well with it as well. Various nations have adopted the French practise of spreading tapenade on bread.

 

Tipes to make the prefect tapenade

 

The acidic flavour from the olives and lemon juice is countered by a tiny bit (only 1 teaspoon) of maple syrup. You can omit the maple syrup to make it tarter. Maybe you can taste it first and then include it if you need to.

 

Making this tapenade is best done in a food processor. I tried a blender, but it's difficult to spin and gets stuck more frequently than a food processor. It might be feasible, but more work would be necessary.

 

Feel free to try out several olive varieties. You can get inventive if your neighbourhood grocery store has an olive bar. The olives should only be pitted before being added to the food processor.

 

Tapenade Tips and Tricks

 

Try experimenting with various ingredients for fresh flavours once you've mastered making decent tapenade. Artichokes, pine nuts, mint, and basil can all be used to make variations of this sauce. By adding fresh lemon juice or vinegar, you may give your sauce a lemony kick.

 

You can serve tapenade, a special sauce, with a variety of items, including pasta, bread, meats, and shellfish. Its exquisite flavour and wealth of nutrients are enhanced by the addition of olives, anchovies, and capers. It is the best substitute for processed, high-sugar condiments because it is rich in vitamins and other minerals.
