Chef's Notes

Olives
Save yourself the time and work of pitting your own olives and buy pitted kalamata olives in the deli section of your grocery store.

Roasting Walnuts
To toast nuts, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in an oven or toaster oven preheated to 400, and bake for 6–8 minutes, tossing once or twice during baking to distribute for even cooking, until golden and releasing a nutty aroma. Watch carefully as toasting times vary by nut, and they can turn from golden to burnt in just seconds.

Serving Suggestion
In addition to serving this tapenade with bread, pitas, crackers, or veggies, this recipe makes a wonderful spread for sandwiches. Also try spreading some on a pizza crust before adding other toppings — amazing flavor for your pie!
