Serves 2 – 3
Cooking tip: gradually add the olive oil while processing the tapenade

1 tin Mendolia sardines in olive oil, or you can pickle your own!
1 baguette, cut into 12 slices
1 garlic clove
Dill
1 pickled onion, sliced into rings
Cracked black pepper
Tapenade:
150 gm (1 cup) Kalamata olives, pitted
25 gm anchovy fillets
3 garlic cloves
25 ml olive oil |
Methods
- For the tapenade, process olives, anchovies and garlic in a small food processor until finely chopped, then gradually add olive oil until smooth. Season to taste and set aside.
