Ingredients

Tapenade Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted black olives chopped
  • 1 cup pitted green olives chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Crostini Ingredients

  • 1 baguette French bread sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 2 Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  3. 3 Brush each side of the baguette slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
  4. 4 Bake the crostini in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  5. 5 While the crostini are baking, combine the black olives, green olives, capers, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, parsley, thyme, and black pepper in a food processor.
  6. 6 Pulse the mixture until coarsely chopped, ensuring not to over-process; the tapenade should have some texture.
  7. 7 Taste the tapenade and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  8. 8 Transfer the tapenade to a serving bowl and serve with the warm crostini.
