This full-flavoured traditional French dish is made from black olive, capers, anchovies and olive oil. It’s usually served as an appetiser spread on small round toasts or with breadsticks and vegetable crudités to dip. For the most authentic taste choose French Nicoise olives and a good quality fruity French olive oil. Once made, the tapenade will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge but allow it to stand at room temperature for 30 mins before serving.
