Tapenade

This isn’t a traditional version of the Provençal specialty, but I think the addition of macadamia nuts mellows out the saltiness of the olives and gives the paste a creamier consistency.

    Ingredients

    100g black kalamata olives

    2 tbps extra virgin olive oil

    2 salted anchovies (optional)

    10 macadamia nuts

    Half a loaf of sourdough

    Instructions

    Using a pestle and mortar makes all the difference the French would tell you – gradually incorporating all the ingredients into a delectable paste as opposed to whizzing up an olive smoothie.

    If you must use a food processor, whiz up all the ingredients. Add a little extra glug olive oil according to the consistency you desire.

    Slice the sourdough as thin as you can and swipe a thin layer of the tapenade over the top. It's meant to look rustic after all.
