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.

Steps:

  • 1. Whip the cream cheese, with electric mixer, until smooth.
  • 2. Add the olive juice a tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. You want the cream cheese smooth, easy to spread, but not runny, so you may not use all of the reserved juice.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup kalamata or nicoise olives, pitted

1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
3 oil-cured anchovy fillets
Zest and juice of half a lemon
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, (optional)

1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

BLACK OLIVE, ANCHOVY, & CAPER SPREAD (GARUM)



Black Olive, Anchovy, & Caper Spread (Garum) image

In ancient Rome, garum was a pungent all-purpose condiment made from fermented anchovies, not unlike present-day Asian fish sauce. In modern Catalonia, the name refers to a spread similar to the French tapenade made of olives, anchovies, capers, sometimes mashed egg yolks, and either olive oil or butter. This recipe, flavored with rum and a touch of mustard, is adapted from the one served at the Hotel Ampurdan in Figueres. The hotel is legendary for its robust Catalan cooking and credited with naming this spread 'garum'. Try to find olives that are pungent, but not vinegary and briny. The spread is delicious on toasted baguette rounds or slices of grilled country bread. It also makes a fine accompaniment to grilled meat, chicken or fish. Adapted from the cookbook, "The New Spanish Table"

Provided by TxGriffLover

Categories     Low Protein

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups pitted black olives, such as nicoise (see note)
4 anchovy fillets, chopped and mashed with a fork
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 large garlic clove, crushed with a garlic press
1 large hard-cooked egg yolk, mashed with a fork
2 tablespoons dark rum (or brandy)
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons fragrant extra virgin olive oil
grilled bread, toast or breadstick, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the olives, anchovies, capers, garlic, egg yolk, rum and mustard in a food processor and process in quick pulses to a medium-fine paste, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed. Gradually add the olive oil, pulsing several times after each addition. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour so that the flavors develop. Serve with grilled bread, toast or bread sticks. The spread can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 weeks.
  • Note: if the only pitted olives you can find are Kalamatas, soak them briefly in cold water and use fewer capers and anchovies. To pit olives, place them in a plastic bag. Lay the bag on a flat surface, and crush them lightly with the flat side of a large knife, mallet or heavy skillet. Then pick out and discard the pits. Cooking time includes standing time.
