Ingredients
 
 

  • 1.5 cups olives kalamata olives, pitted
  • 4 cloves garlic I love them roasted (optional)
  • 0.5 cup sun dried tomatoes don't use the ones in oil
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 2 tbsp parsley finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • To prepare the tapenade, in a food processor, pulse to mince the garlic. Then, add the olives and pulse until quite fine, but not until it is paste–like. Remove the olives and set aside.
  • Next, roughly chop the sun–dried tomatoes. Don't use the oil–packed tomatoes. Place the tomatoes into the food processor and blend until quite fine (like the olives). Then add the capers and parsley and pulse a few times.
  • At this point, you can add the tomato mixture to the olives and mix by hand.

Notes

Some grocery stores have salad and olive bars where you can select your own ingredients. In most cases all the ingredients for this dish can be found there. Just make yourself a container with all the needed ingredients and at home you just add it to the food processor. Cleaning the food processor, will at that point take longer compare to making the tapenade.
This tapenade will keep for several days in the refrigerator. Just note that the parsley will not be as vibrant in color, but the flavor will still be excellent.
