Nothing says Provence like tapenade!

If you know me, then you know how much I love this rich soft paste made from olives, capers, anchovies and garlic. And don’t get me started about french charcuterie… You really cannot beat good traditional food!

This recipe requires no work at all and gives you the most delicious pay off. Spread some tapenade on freshly baked bread for a french style tartine at home!
