Herbal Tapenade (Bread Spread)

I'm quite the growing noob but adventurous in the kitchen.

Today I took a few big handfuls of fan leaf trimmings and decided to eat them.

I started out by making an oil by shredding up the leafy bits into a cup of veggie oil.

Then I placed it on a gentle double boiler to steam heat the oil for about an hour.

After draining the oil into a separate container, I took the leaves out and minced them finely along with green olives, roasted garlic, parsley, oregano, Parmesan cheese, and balsamic glaze.

Then I put the mixture in a container and poured some of the cooked oil on top.

Just spread it on toast.

Enjoy!

Try this one too, its a basic olive tapenade


3 cloves garlic peeled
1 cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tbs capers (rinsed)
3 tbs chopped parsley
2 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs (your oil)
s&p

instead of mincing, use a food processor
