Ingredients
12 total- 100g pitted kalamata olives
- 2 large garlic cloves, peeled, 1 chopped or grated, 1 left whole
- 1 tbsp capers
- 4 anchovy fillets in oil (optional)
- 4 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- ¼ lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp thyme leaves
- 1 tsp finely grated orange zest
- ¼ small bunch parsley, leaves picked and roughly chopped
- 4 slices sourdough
- 2 beefsteak tomatoes or bull's heart tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 pinch salt flakes
Method
2 stepsStep 1
To make the tapenade, pile the olives, chopped garlic, capers and anchovies (if using) on a board and chop together with a large, sharp knife (or pulse in a food processor), to form a coarse paste. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the 4 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, thyme leaves, orange zest and parsley. Season with freshly ground pepper; it shouldn’t need salt.
Step 2
Toast the bread, then rub with the whole garlic clove and drizzle over a little olive oil. Slather the toast with the tapenade and pile the sliced tomatoes on top, as you like. Season the tomatoes with a little sea salt and black pepper, add a drizzle of olive oil and serve immediately. You can store the tapenade chilled in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
