Recipe: Roasted Pepper Olive Tapenade

Recipe: Roasted Pepper Olive Tapenade
January 28, 2022RecipesRecipes: Holiday

 

This tapenade jazzes up a few pantry staples to serve as an impressive side dish or robust garnish, kicking any standard protein up a few notches. The roasted red peppers provide a flavorful burst of tangy sweetness while the olives offer a savory, briny note that promises to bring any basic chicken or seafood dish to life.

Olives are an underrated, heart-healthy accent to toss into salads and side dishes for a rich dose of monounsaturated fats. Following the theme of heart health, garlic contains allicin, a plant compound that may lower cholesterol and blood pressure, not to mention the potent pop of flavor it provides to any dish. If you’re looking for a simple way to elevate a meal, whether on a typical Tuesday or when entertaining, consider serving a batch of this quick tapenade.
