Tapenade is a puree containing any combination of olives, dried tomatoes, or peppers whizzed with some good quality olive oil to form a soft paste. In the Mediterranean cuisine, tapenade is a salty condiment used to top eggs, toast, roasted fish, mixed in with pasta, or added to salad dressings – you get the idea.
