Missing: My Tapenade Recipe (AKA: " Grandad's Tapenade")
Hi everyone, I need help.
Several years ago I posted a recipe for my Father-in-Law's tapenade. I can't find it at home or on the site any more. I remember that one member made it towards the end of last year.
Does anyone have it saved electronically? If so, would they mind posting it/ a link to it, please?
Many thanks

Thank you. I did search here. I'm using a phone and the options appear to be less than optimal.
Much appreciated.

copied over for you Maree , your Father in Laws recipe ....
This is my FiL's recipe. source unknown.
Grandad's Olive Tapenade
1kg pitted black olives
6 sundried tomatoes- chopped
1/2 cup chopped almonds
4-5 anchovy fillets rinsed and dried
2-4 teaspoons capers rinsed and dried
2 large cloves garlic
1 teaspoon oregano (fresh pref. But dried is OK at a pinch)
1 teaspoon thyme (as always, fresh is best)
1/2 lemon juiced
1 generous teaspoon sweet chilli sauce (or use chilli paste to taste) * avoid the sweet chilli sauce with ginger- too many tastes.
olive oil
Method:
Whiz all (but olive oil) in a food processor. We prefer to leave a bit of texture- it's up to you. Stir in olive oil until the taste and consistency is right for you. Place in covered container and refrigerate. Needs approx' 3 days to 'mature' before using.
We use it on wood fired/ rustic type crusty breads and as antipasti.
Enjoy!

Welcome to the forums, Gastronomica 
My FiL passed away almost three years ago and my children were upset when I couldn't find it the other night. It is one of their favourite of his recipes.

Maree,
Thank you for your lovely note.
My heartfelt condolences. I recently lost my dad, so I know how difficult it can be to lose a loved one.
I am a big fan of Black Olive Tapenade too and prepare it all the time, very similar to your´s ...
Do you employ Kalamata Greek black olives ?
The only difference, is I do not utilise sweet chili; I sprinkle a dash of 1 tiny Basilicata or Iberian red dry chili pepper or red chili flakes in mine for a hint of piquant ...
Thanks very much for the welcome to the Forum. Appreciate it.
Interesting; my call name is actually quite close to your´s; Marè denoting the sea in Italian. My real name is actually Margaux, French maternal and Italian paternal, Cintrano ...
Kind regards.
Gastronomica Marè
