KALAMATA OLIVE TAPENADE (SPREAD OR DIP)



Kalamata Olive Tapenade (Spread or Dip) image

This is a simple, versatile tapenade. It is best on warm focaccia or toasted slices of baguette, spread in a very thin layer. It is also terrific on sandwiches. Spread it on the inside of the bread before you make a grilled cheese (best w/cheddar) or a fresh mozzarella and tomato sandwich. It's also a good dip for baby carrots or just about anything else. I've used leftover tapenade as a sauce on pasta, as well. It's very rich and flavorful. This recipe keeps well and is a favorite at parties.

Time 5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup pitted kalamata olive
1 cup pine nuts
3 garlic cloves
1 -2 cup fresh parsley
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
1/4 cup olive oil
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup of pitted canned black olives (decreases saltiness)

Steps:

  • Add garlic to food processor, blend until minced. Add remaining ingredients except olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding olive oil slowly while the blade is running.
  • Adjust ingredients to your liking - Additional pine nuts, parsley or pitted canned black olives will make it less salty and intense in flavor, while additional oil will increase the creaminess. You can also use other fresh herbs such as sage or basil.
  • Serve at room temperature.

Copycat Olive Garden Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip image

I found this recipe on a (since-forgotten) web-site years ago and have been making it since. It's a copycat of Olive Garden's Spinach and Artichoke dip. I find it extremely similar. Whenever I have to go somewhere that I bring an appetizer, this is always the one that is requested.

OLIVE OIL AND BALSAMIC BREAD DIP



Olive Oil and Balsamic Bread Dip image

A distant but lasting memory popped into my brain of a meal I had at a restaurant years ago-after hours. The owner had just returned from Italy and brought back a bottle of private reserve olive oil. The following "recipe" was how the dip was presented. This was my first time tasting this glorious, much celebrated combination and I've been hooked ever since. Your assignment: find the best Italian bread, olive oil and balsamic available. Whatever you do, NO dried Italian herbs; no "lite" olive oil are allowed. The only thing I could possibly think of that would make this sublime is to float a few fresh basil leaf ribbons on top....but that all depends on what you plan to serve with this appetizer. A bottle of good Italian wine would bring it all together nicely, rhetorically speaking.

Categories     European

Time 10m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 loaf fresh Italian bread, sliced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 -3 teaspoons dark aged balsamic vinegar
fresh basil leaf, chiffonade (optional)

Steps:

  • NOTE: Play around a little bit with the olive oil/balsamic vinegar proportions. There should however always be more olive oil than vinegar.
  • Slice up bread into appetizer sizes and place on a platter.
  • In a pretty shallow bowl or plate, pour the olive oil then drizzle the balsamic vinegar around and across the pool of olive oil.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
  • Take a piece of the bread and lightly dunk into the mixture. Take a bite!
  • Now the Roman gods are happy and you should be, too!

JOHNNY CARINO'S OLIVE OIL DIP RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Johnny Carino's Olive Oil Dip Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-1590

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons rosemary
2 teaspoon parsley
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoons crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 head garlic, peeled and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375° Blend spices and Parmesan cheese in a food processor until finely chopped. Add to olive oil. Lay chopped garlic on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast garlic for 10 minutes and stir. Roast for another 10 minutes until garlic is golden and crispy, but not burned. Serve roasted garlic in a shallow bowl for dipping. Add oil as desired when ready to eat. NOTE I mixed dried herbs, roasted garlic and oil together without the parmesan cheese. I did this so the herbs, garlic and olive oil would infuse and will add the cheese when ready to use.

2-SECOND ITALIAN BREAD OLIVE OIL DIP



2-Second Italian Bread Olive Oil Dip image

Know how at some Italian restaurants they give you the option of both butter and a dish with herbed olive when they bring out the bread? I found that I actually prefer the olive oil dip to butter in terms of both taste and ease to use; I don't have to wait for olive oil to melt! Plus, olive oil is monounsaturated fat that's better for you while butter is saturated fat that isn't. I use Recipe #391627, feel free to use another mix or storebought seasoning-- tastes just like the kind in restaurants to enjoy with focaccia or crusty Italian bread.
