FIG AND OLIVE TAPENADE



Fig and Olive Tapenade image

This is an easy gourmet appetizer. I've brought this to several parties and it is always a hit! I often add some chopped green olives to the olive mixture and a little more balsamic. Goat cheese may also be used in place of the cream cheese. Serve with slices of French bread or crackers.

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.
