Spicy Sun-Dried Tomato and Lemon Zest Tapenade
Zesty Tapenade for use on crostini ,steaks, eggs etc I made this when I was cooking a skirt steak and wanted a different topping than say a Chimichurri which is more traditionally made from chopped parsley, dried oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, onion, and paprika with olive oil.
