Pea and Green Olive Tapenade

Submitted by ElizabethKnicely

"Peas add a refreshing sweetness to this traditional spread - less spiky but still very flavorful. Use it as a dip for cut-up vegetables (quartered radishes are particularly nice), as a topping for whole-wheat pasta or even as a condiment on grilled fish."

ingredients

• 236.59 ml fresh shelled peas
• 88.74 ml sliced green pitted olives
• 1 large garlic clove, quartered
• 14.79 ml lemon juice
• 4.92 ml drained capers

directions

1. Place ingredients in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade; pulse several times until a coarse spread forms, scraping down the inside of the canister every few pulses.
2. Scrape mixture into a serving bowl - or scrape into a nonreactive, sealable container. Set plastic wrap directly on the surface of the spread to prevent discoloration and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
