Can't decide whether to call this a tapenade or a pesto, given that it's a bit of both but the proportions are all wrong for either! Try it - it works great as a dip, sandwich topping, marinade, etc.
Ingredients:
75g pine nuts
250g pitted black olives (i use kalamata)
50ml olive oil
10 fresh basil leaves
handful (say, half a cup) fresh italian parsley (curly is ok if you've not got the flat leaf)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 sundried tomatos
salt and pepper to taste
fresh chilli to taste
Directions:
1. toast the pine nuts in a hot dry pan, adding the garlic for the last 30seconds
2. add pine nuts to all other ingredients in a processor bowl
3. process to taste (I leave it lumpy, others prefer smooth!)
4. enjoy on toasted french bread, ciabatta, or with raw vegetables as a dip
