Recipe's preparation

    Peel the garlic! and chop your ingredients
  1. 1. Peel your garlic, 4 seconds/Speed 4 ½ /Reverse Blade Function Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" . Cancel your Reverse Blade Function No counter-clockwise operation"No counter-clockwise operation" tmrc_emoticons.;-) Remove and discard skins. Add all other ingredients except the oil and pepper and process 10 seconds/Speed 7 or until you get a thick paste.

  2. Emulsify the tapenade
  3. Place a jug or a bowl on top of your Thermomix lid and weigh in the olive oil. With the blades of the Thermomix running at Speed 4 and the measuring cup turned bottom up, slowly pour the olive oil onto the lid and let it drip through the gap until fully incorporated. This will take about a minute. Stop and scrape the sides of the Thermomix bowl with the spatula.

  4. Taste and add freshly ground pepper. Mix again 10 seconds/Speed 4. Turn out into a pretty bowl and serve with crudités, crusty French bread, or Bernie Brennan’s Almond and Seed Crackers, or spread it on your next leg of lamb.

Tip

With its deep, complex flavours, Tapenade is delightful served in several ways, including spread on wholesome, chewy French bread and as a dip for crudités. It combines with lamb for a match made in heaven and can be used as a basting spread/rub for your leg or shoulder of lamb. Some firm-fleshed, flavoursome fish also stands up to black olive tapenade; at my restaurant Le Bistro du Lac in the USA I would drop a spoonful into a garlic cream sauce for grilled loin or sautéed medallions of monkfish and serve it over fresh pasta - which of course you can make in your Thermomix. Delicious!
