Artichoke Tapenade with Roasted Red Pepper and Feta
Makes about 4 cups
3 cloves Garlic, peeled and trimmed
4 filets (20 grams) Anchovies
6 leaves Sage, fresh
¼ cup (60 milliliters) Olive Oil
½ cup (75 grams) Green Olives, pitted
½ cup (75 grams) Kalamata Olives, pitted
1 each Red Bell Pepper, seeds removed and trimmed
24 ounces (680 grams (drained weight may be less)) Artichoke hearts, marinated
Gluten free crackers
4 oz (115 grams) Feta Cheese, crumbled
Place Garlic, Anchovy, Sage and Olive Oil in the bowl of a food processor. Run until the ingredients have broken down well. Stop, scrape down the sides with a soft spatula and run again if necessary. Add Olives and Bell Pepper and run food processor again just to combine. Add Artichoke hearts and pulse a few more times just to combine and distribute Artichokes into the mixture. Mixture should remain slightly chunky.
Serve on the Cracker of your choice or get creative with veggie slices like cucumbers, zucchini, or sweet potato toast. Top with crumbled Feta.
