💭 Tips
I love having this spread ready in my fridge, as it just serves great for little snacks, and sandwich spreads. You can keep it in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
Enjoy making this tapenade, it is so easy and quick! Don't season before tasting, as the olives and capers are very salty already. You can de-salt them a bit by rinsing them before use. *Note; the nutrition facts label is for a whole bowl of black olive tapenade.

📋 Recipe
Ingredients
- 160 g 1 cup pitted black olives
- 2 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the capers to de-salt them a bit
- Check the pitted olives to make sure no pips are left in by accident, as this can really cause havoc for your blender / food processor.
- Put everything in your food processor, and blend until you get your desired texture. (some like it chunky, some like it smooth)
- Add some freshly ground black pepper, and check if it needs extra salt (the olives are often already salty enough)
