Tapendade (Olive Spread)

This is a reallly dish to prepare, and it's always a big hit at parties. My father reccomends:

"Make this the night before so that the flavors have time to blend. Just birng it up to room temperature before you serve it. In the winter, try serving it warm."

Instructions

• 1 8oz. jar sundried tomatoes
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 2/3 c. kalamata olives
• 1 t. capers

Ingredients

2. Blend until as smooth as possible.
