Описание

Исходное описание на английском языке. Русский перевод ещё не добавлен.

This aromatic, decadent spread is made with black or green olives. The original recipe includes four essential Mediterranean ingredients – chopped olives, anchovies, capers, and olive oil – combined with additional ingredients and spices to form a thick, fragrant spread. Even though it is often described as a Provençal recipe, it was originally invented in 1880 by a chef Meynier at a Marseilles restaurant called La Maison Dorée , while the first recipe dates back to 1897, when it was published in Jean-Baptiste Reboul's La Cuisinière Provençale . In the past, tapenade was made using a mortar and pestle, but today it can be easily prepared in a food processor. Even though it uses simple ingredients and is a quick dish to prepare at home, ready-made tapenades can be found in supermarkets all over the world. French restaurants usually serve it as an appetizer with a warm, crunchy baguette on the side. Sometimes, it is also used as a dipping sauce for crackers, assorted vegetables, or breadsticks.
