Fig-Olive Tapenade
Figs and olives provide the deep, briny-sweet base for a harmony of flavors: a chili flake kick, earthy rosemary, and orange zest brightens the whole mix.

A combination of Kalamata and oil-cured olives provided a balance of flavor and texture. To easily pit the olives, flatten them with the side of a chef’s knife, then pull out the pits. Soaking the figs ensured they became smooth when processed. We love this tapenade smeared on crostini, as a dip for crudite, tossed with steamed vegetables or potatoes, or combined with olive oil and vinegar for a quick vinaigrette.
Don’t forget to check your olives for pits, even if they’re labeled “pitted.” An olive pit can ruin the blades of a food processor.
