Recipe Introduction
This sounds like a great tapenade. Spread on toasted Italian bread or other breads, too.
List of Ingredients
For the tapenade:
1-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
1-2 anchovy fillets (oil-packed) finely chopped
3/4 cup (180 ml) pitted kalamata olives, finely chopped
2 Tbs (30 ml) capers, finely chopped
3 Tbs (45 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbs (30 ml) lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2-3 medium cucumbers
Recipe
Combine all ingredients for the tapenade and set aside. An
alternative to chopping all ingredients individually is to combine the ingredients in an electric food processor, pulsing several times to make a coarse spreadable paste. Partially peel the cucumbers and cut into 1-inch (3 cm) lengths. Using the tip of a small spoon, scoop out a hollow in the cucumber slices to form shallow cups. Fill with the
tapenade mixture and chill until ready to serve. Serves 4 to 6.
