“Nothing like tapenade… and football… together.” – Peyton Manning

If you’ve been watching football you probably have seen the DirectTV commercial with Peyton Manning and Deion Sanders. If not, check it out, you’ll love it!

Thanks to Peyton and Deion I was (in)SPYR‘d to make my own tapenade. Funny enough as I was walking through the grocery store gathering the ingredients I needed to make my own, there were samples of a few different tapenades available.

It’s everywhere I look I tell you! And I’ve never tried the stuff.

Really I’ve never had a reason to. Typically it’s served as an hors d’oeuvre and spread on bread, and since we don’t typically have appetizers with our meals (and we don’t eat bread) there was never a reason to try it. Plus, Jeff is not a fan of olives but he did humor me and tried a little. :)

Tapenade

Yield: 1 cup

Ingredients

1/2 cup whole ancient black olives
1/4 cup whole green olives
3 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon capers
olive oil, optional

Directions

Add the black olives, green olives, whole garlic cloves and capers to a food processor.
Blend until the desired consistency. (I chopped everything for less than a minute.)
Note: If you'd like a smoother consistency, drizzle some olive oil in while the food processor is chopping.
Enjoy! :)
