Prune Tapenade

 

Ingredients:
  • 125g SUNSWEET prunes, finely chopped
  • 150ml water
  • 50g black olives, pitted
  • 25g pine nuts
  • 30ml balsamic vinegar
  • 45ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chives, freshly chopped ground pepper
Method:
1. Place the prunes and water into a small pan.

2. Cook on a low heat until the prunes are very soft, about 8-10 minutes.

3. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.

4. Once cooled, add the olives, nuts, vinegar, oil, capers and thyme, and mix well.

5. Set the mixture aside for 2 hours to allow the flavour to blend together.

6. Add the chives just before serving.

The perfect paste to add to bruschetta or crostinis or simply use as a spread for cheese or meat sandwiches.
