French Lentil Tapenade
Border

Give me all the breads and spreads! This recipe is for all my fellow olive and caper lovers. Tapenade is a great appetizer for any gathering. I recommend making the night before eating, allowing the flavours to meld over night.

    Could this be made with less oil?

      Absolutely! After you whizz up all the ingredients, if it’s too thick for spreading, instead of adding oil, you could try water, vegetable broth, more brine, etc.
