Servings 1 Bowl

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

Serving Suggestion:
Tapenade - such a beautiful accompaniment. It is great as a dip on a mezze platter, over baked potatoes with a spoon of sour cream / thick yoghurt or anywhere you need the rich saltiness of olives.
Note:
Tapenade traditionally makes use of capers and anchovies.  In all the years we have made tapenade, we have not ever harmed a caper or an anchovy in the making thereof. :) Often times, rosemary is also included in tapenade, but due to our GiNiT Spices containing juniper, which has similar piney notes, we omit the rosemary from our tapenade.
