Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If the olives are not already pitted, remove the pits.
- Once pitted, roughly chop the green olives.
- In a food processor or blender, add the chopped green olives and the lime zest.
- Pulse the olives and lime zest together a few times until they start to combine. Be careful not to over-process; the mixture should be slightly chunky.
- With the food processor running on a low setting, slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
- Blend until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker tapenade, blend less. For a smoother texture, blend a little longer.
- Taste the tapenade and adjust seasoning if necessary. Depending on your taste, you might want to add a small pinch of salt or a bit more lime zest for extra zing.
- Transfer the tapenade to a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately, or for best flavor, let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Store any leftover tapenade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips:
- Use high-quality green olives for the best flavor. You can use pitted green olives to save time.
- For a smoother texture, use a food processor to blend the ingredients. For a chunkier texture, chop the ingredients by hand.
- Adjust the lime zest according to your taste preference. You can add more or less depending on how citrusy you want the tapenade to be.
- Store the tapenade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Let it come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
This green olive and lime tapenade is a versatile and flavorful addition to any meal. Whether served as an appetizer, a snack, or a condiment, its unique combination of briny and citrusy flavors will elevate your culinary creations. Enjoy the simplicity and elegance of this Mediterranean-inspired recipe!
