10-Minute Tapenade

1. 1

   Place garlic, capers, both types of olives and artichokes into your food processor bowl, put the lid on and pulse until combined.

2. 2

   Scrape the mixture into a large bowl, add in the vinegar, olive oil and pepper and toss until combined.

3. 3

   Serve with pita chips or fresh, thin slices of French bread.

4. 4

   Colleens notes: You can make this up to a day ahead, just add the olive oil now but do not add the vinegar until either just before serving or an hour ahead.

5. 5

   Toss well.

6. 6

   You can customize the flavorsadd more or less garlic, omit the artichoke, add anchovies or roasted red peppers.

7. 7

   You can even sweeten it up a bit and add dried figs.

8. 8

   You can only use black olives also, which I think is the traditional way.

9. 9

   You can use this to stuff mushrooms, stuff chicken breasts or top a burger.
