First I added only one tomato (roma) and doubled the amount of sun dried tomatoes. Pulsed everything and I have forgotten how quick, easy and delicious tapenade is to prepare. I really need to add it to the menu more often. Used a variety of imported olives including nicoise and I'm sure one or two Greek/Italian olives sneaked in the back door. The tomatoes and various olives including green ones were an added color bonus, too. No salt (the olives were quite salty on their own) and lightly drizzled with extra virgin olive oil for presentation. Recipe was required to prepare this recipe: Recipe #229763 and read how I showcased the tapenade . Thank you!

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
