Hello beautiful cats! How are you? It’s been over a month since my last post: I took some days off, went for a short holiday, went to the cinema (for the first time in 5 years!) and spent time with friends. It was much needed! I hope you’ve been having a good September too and are ready for Autumn. To be honest, while I was off for two weeks, I haven’t been exploring many different recipes, however as my partner is always trying new foods he recently found out the deliciousness of olives and capers so I thought to combine these two in an olive tapenade and looking around, I found this Olive Tapenade by Love and Lemons: absolutely amazing!

Ingredients

• 1½ cups pitted olives, mix of kalamata and green olives
• 4 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon capers
• ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove
• ⅓ cup fresh basil or parsley

Instructions

1. In a small food processor, combine the olives, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, capers, lemon juice, and garlic.
2. Pulse until combined but still chunky. Add the fresh herbs and pulse again.

Easy, delicious and versatile: I used it as spread on bread and oatcakes as well as pasta condiment.

I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Love,
