Tapenade with GiNiT Thyme
Tapenade is such an incredible food item for those who love olives, and the variations are as diverse as people who make it. When we prepared the Tapenade with GiNiT Thyme, we really enjoyed how the thyme and juniper worked subtly together. This combination gives a full bodied flavour, while enhancing the olives. This is one item you want in your mezze / meze platter.
Tapenade with GiNiT Thyme
Ingredients
- 200 g pitted black olives – drained and rinsed in cool water to remove excess salt
- 1 medium clove garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice – or more to taste
- 2 tsp GiNiT Thyme
Instructions
- After draining the brine off olives, rinse well in cool water to remove excess salt and drain. Place olives and other ingredients into a blender or food processor and pulse until the olives are cut into small pieces, or smooth – personal preference prevails.
Notes
GiNiT Thyme is a beautiful harmony between the dry and slightly minty note of Thyme, added to the flavour profile of a traditional Gin & Tonic. Try it on butternut, chicken, or in tomato based dishes… or let your imagination run wild.
If you have tried the other variants, but not the GiNiT Thyme, you can find a bottle in our online shop…
