A Wine Snack Tapenade

1. 1

   Just put all the ingredients in a food processor and process.

2. 2

   Chop up the garlic clove beforehand and remove the sprout in the center (this is to not have chunks of garlic in the paste).

3. 3

   If you are using pine nuts you can just put them in the food processor.

4. 4

   If you are using walnuts or other large nuts, chop them up roughly as with the garlic before adding to the food processor.

5. 5

   Process for a few seconds, then scrape down the sides of the bowl before processing some more so that everything is evenly incorporated (add black pepper to taste).

6. 6

   I personally recommend that you stop processing when the tapenade is still a little chunky, rather than turning it into a smooth paste (about the consistency of small grain caviar.)

7. 7

   Spread on toast or crackers.

8. 8

   Combine with cream cheese and tomato to make bruschetta.

9. 9

   Use as a flavoring for tomato sauce, dressing or pasta.
