ANTIPASTO WITH RED PEPPER TAPENADE



Antipasto with Red Pepper Tapenade image

In this 30 minute meal I cook out of my cupboard, my pantry, and with veggies and herbs I always have on hand. This menu is an example of what I cook up when I just can't find the energy to stop at the market on my way home. If you keep your favorite essentials on hand, dinner is never more than 30 minutes - and a little imagination - away.

When entertaining, I often rely on my pepper tapenade recipe because it takes only 15 minutes to whip up and pop in the fridge. Sometimes I swap out the almonds for walnuts or pecans. -Donna Magliaro, Denville, New Jersey
