  • 1 tin of anchovies in olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of Spanish capers (drained)
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Herbs de Provence
  • Black pepper

Method

Claudia always has the ingredients for this simple and versatile tapenade on hand. To make it, combine olives, anchovies, capers, lemon juice, herbs de Provence, and black pepper in a food processor and pulse to combine. Spread it on a baguette for a savory snack, or smear it on cod (or other mild fish) before baking for a flavor-packed main course.
