Tapenades
Use for dipping.
Stuff mushrooms.
Mix with risotto.
Makes the perfect topping for pizza crusts,
then finish with a little feta or goat cheese.
Toss with pasta, such as ravioli or tortellini.
Add to layered scalloped potatoes with cream.
Serve as an accompaniment with grilled meats!
 
  • Cut a baguette in half horizontally and generously spread with a tapenade. Finish with feta or goat cheese; put under broiler until cheese melts. Let cool & serve.
  • For something easy & quick, take a boned chicken breast or a flank steak. Salt & pepper and sear both sides on grill or in a sauté pan. Remove from pan and spread tapenade on one side. Add feta or goat cheese and then roll and tie with kitchen string. Finish in oven until done to desired temperature.
  • Basically a stir-fry in a jar! Heat pan with oil. Add meat, veggies and stir fry until veggies are shiny. Enjoy!
