Artichoke Tapenade

I was making bread this morning (from this awesome book) and decided I'd really like something to eat on it (other than butter).  And after looking online and through my cookbooks, I didn't really find anything that struck my fancy, so I made something up.  It's essentially a tapenade, but with marinated artichokes instead of olives, capers, and anchovies.

Recipe:
8 - 10 ounces Marinated Artichokes
4 - 5 tablespoons of the oil and marinade from the artichokes
1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
Salt to taste

In a food processor, pulse artichokes, marinade, and sesame seeds to a spreadable consistency.  Salt to taste.  I also put some Greek seasoning and oregano in mine.

The tapenade on it's own





This was great on the bread!  It's tangy and delicious.  Plus, I wasn't really in the mood for a regular artichoke dip, with all the mayonnaise and cheese and everything.  This is much lighter.

  1. This looks really tasty. The bread looks like a European, crusty style bread.
