Ingredients

  • 2 cups of green olives stuffed with pimiento,
  • ½ cup of pitted black olives,
  • an undrained jar of marinated artichoke hearts (6 oz),
  • 2 hot banana peppers, seeded and chopped,
  • a coarsely chopped red bell pepper,
  • minced garlic cloves (2),
  • chopped and drained capers (2 tablespoons),
  • dried basil (½ teaspoon),
  • lemon juice (1 tablespoon),
  • olive oil (¼ cup).

Step 1

Using a food processor or blender, pulse green olives, black olives, and artichoke hearts until they reach a smooth, spreadable consistency. Transfer this flavorful mixture into a large mixing bowl. Next, blend banana peppers and red bell pepper until they are also spreadable, then incorporate them into the olive blend.

Step 2

Add minced garlic, capers, fresh basil, a splash of zesty lemon juice, and a drizzle of aromatic olive oil to the bowl. Stir everything together until the flavors meld beautifully. Store your delicious tapenade in the fridge where it will stay fresh for about a week.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your olives in a cool, dark place to preserve their flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  2. 2. Store your olive oil in a tightly sealed container away from heat and light to maintain its freshness and quality.
