Directions
Puls the green olives, black olives, and artichoke hearts in a food processor or blender. You want them chopped enough to be spreadable, but not too smooth. Transfer this mixture to a bowl. Next, puree the banana peppers and red bell pepper until they’re also spreadable, then add them to the bowl with the olives. Give everything a good stir, then mix in the garlic, capers, chopped basil, lemon juice, and olive oil until everything is well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Store the tapenade in the fridge, and it should stay fresh for about a week.
Best Serving Ideas
This tapenade is perfect as a spread on crusty bread or crackers. It also works well as a topping for grilled fish, chicken, or roasted vegetables. Add a spoonful to salads or pasta for an extra burst of flavor.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store the tapenade in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze it in small portions and thaw as needed. Always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination.
