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.

ROASTED RED PEPPER AND MUSHROOM TAPENADE



Roasted Red Pepper and Mushroom Tapenade image

Tapenade is traditionally a caper-olive paste. However, adding roasted veggies not only makes it more atractive, but also lighter and more flavorful. Serve as an appetizer on pita triangles or low-fat crackers.
