A touch of citrus complements the rich, savory flavors of this tasty tapenade.
Ingredients
Roasted Garlic:
- 1 head garlic
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Olive Tapenade:
- 1 cup pitted green olives, chopped fine
- 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped fine
- ¼ cup capers, chopped fine
- 2 tablespoons anchovy fillets, chopped fine
- 2 tablespoons roasted garlic, chopped fine
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped fine
- 1½ teaspoons orange zest
- ⅔ cup olive oil
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F.
To prepare the roasted garlic, cut the top half off the whole head of garlic. Place both halves in a pie plate or similar baking dish, then add ¼ inch of water. Drizzle olive oil over the cut ends of the garlic, cover dish with foil, and fold the edges over to seal.
Roast for about 30 minutes, until garlic is soft and golden brown. When garlic is cool enough to touch, squeeze each clove out individually and chop fine.
For the tapenade, combine all ingredients and mix well. Allow flavors to marry for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve with fresh bread or crostini.
