[Mercs Own]

I love tapenade but am rather tired of buying crap tapenade so I finally put together a recipe of my own.

Love to see what your recipes are for tapenade!

[SIZE=medium]3 medium sized cloves of garlic – crushed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]2 tablespoons of salted capers – rinsed and dried[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]1 tablespoon of lemon thyme[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]2 tablespoons of sherry vinegar[/SIZE]

I love a good tapenade - I'll try this, as I grow about half the ingredients myself and can scab some lemon thyme from a mate.

you have to have capers....tapenade isn't tapenade without capers!

Tapenade is a Provençal dish consisting of puréed or finely chopped olives, capers, anchovies and olive oil. Its name comes from the Provençal word for capers, tapenas. Wikipedia
