Black Olive and Fig Tapenade

Description

"Black Olive and Fig Tapenade"Here's a tasty salty-sweet spread from Provence that is easy to make in quantity. Use good olives, not the woody canned variety. If you cannot get the figs, 1/3 cup of fig jam is an acceptable substitute. Serve this on crackers or on toasted baguette rounds, or with crudites.

Yield
20 Ounces

Total time
25 minutes
Ingredients
12 oz Dried black mission figs (chopped, about 15 figs)
1⁄4 c Brandy
1⁄2 c Water
6 Anchovies (rinsed and drained)
2 T Capers
1 T Dijon mustard
1 1⁄4 c Pitted Black Olives (chopped)
2 T Lemon Juice
1⁄3 c Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
  1. Simmer the chopped figs in the brandy and water for 10-12 minutes, until the liquid has been mostly absorbed.
  2. In a food processor, blend the anchovies, capers, and mustard to a fine paste.
  3. Add the olives, the figs, and the rest of the brandy-water, if any remains, and blend into a coarse paste.
  4. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and blend until smooth. 
  5. Taste and add a little black pepper if you think it needs it, then transfer it into a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve at room temperature.
