Black Olive Tapenade
- 1 bottle pitted black olives (check ingredients)
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- fresh basil
- endives
1) Put the olives into a food processor. Pulse until almost smooth. Add just enough olive oil to make sure it isn't too dry.
2) Add basil and garlic. Pulse again.
3) Serve with fresh endives to dip into it.
If you are going to use this recipe, you must find black olives that are bottled/canned in water. Many are cased in vinegar. Even then, I can't say what the yeast level is on this because I have never been able to find information on it. I just know that I have eaten it and haven't had any bad symptoms.
I've used organic corn chips to dip into this, but use your imagination. You could serve it with celery and carrot sticks to dip with. Or another lettuce-type food.
I've also used this as a stuffing for chicken breast. You might even want to throw this into a pasta.
