Ingredients
- 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 12 leaves Endive leaves
Directions
Step 1
Place the Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and capers in the bowl of a food processor.
Step 2
Pulse the mixture a few times until it is coarsely chopped, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 3
Add the parsley, lemon juice, and ground black pepper to the food processor. Pulse again until well combined but still slightly chunky.
Step 4
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture comes together as a thick paste. Be careful not to over-process, as you want some texture in the tapenade.
Step 5
Taste the tapenade and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch of salt or more lemon juice as preferred.
Step 6
Spoon a small dollop of tapenade onto each endive leaf, arranging them on a serving platter.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a fresh and elegant appetizer.
