Tapenade??

I have just discovered green olive tapenade. For those of you who know about it what can it be used for besides on crackers or artesian type bread. It is sooo good, but I am tired of the cracker thing.

Answer:On pasta with a bit of olive oil, as a side dressing for grilled meat, the tapenade on crackers and bread are excellent with a salad. Olive tapenade makes great sandwiches- either tea type sandwiches on white bread- or turkey and tomato on crusty bread with olive tapenade- yummy.

Can Anyone Recommend A Really Good Bread To Go With Roasted Garlic And Black Olive Tapenade?

Im making an Italian themed dinner for some friends and for apps, I was going to roast some garlic and and make a black olive tapenade to spread over some warm bread... Any suggestions? Wasnt sure if I should just cut up a french loaf, or sourdough or ciabatta or maybe rosemary bread... Also, if you want to throw in some main course ideas too,that would be awesome....just no chicken. thanks. :8P

Answer:You'd want a very dense bread so I wouldn't use ciabatta. Something more like french bread or sourdough. Even some toastettes or small pumpernickel squares. For a main course how about Ozzo Bucco? Or lasagna? Or pesto over gnocchi?

what Is Tapenade Annd Where Can I Find It?

making a recipe that calls for tapenade and need to know where to look for it in the grocery store.

Answer:You can make it quite easily.. it is just a paste made from ground olives and some salt, pepper, olive oil. You can add garlic too.

What Types Of Veggies Could I Use To Be An Edible Scoop For A Tapenade?

I need it to find a substitute for an endive, so this veggie needs to be scoop shaped to hold my runny dip.

Answer:Bell pepper wedges would work. Large slices of zucchini (you could even scoop out some of the soft insides to make little shovels). Celery sticks, of course. Bake some potatoes and use the insides in mashed potatoes and the skins for tapenade scoopers. Small romaine lettuce leaves would work.

Any Recipes Or Serving Ideas For Black Olive Tapenade?

I was given a jar of this stuff and I haven't ever tried it before, what is it good to serve with? Are there any recipe uses for it?

Answer:I would suggest serving it with freshly toasted crustini, or you could use bagel chips or pit a chips. It is more of a spread so I like to eat it with toasted bread.
