  I left out the anchovies and added some mushrooms. It was still very yummy. - 2/13/10

  Great mix of flavors! Try filling a chicken breast fillet with a tablespoon. First pound the fillets until thin, spread the tapenade on one side, roll the breasts and bake. Optional: baste while baking with lemon or white wine. Make it pretty by garnishing each with a red pepper strip. - 11/1/10

  tapenade is a staple for a really great muffaletta. good basic recipe. for the anchovy dislikers -- you don't taste "fish." they add depth. when you mash them up, they disappear into the mix. you do need to finely chop the other ingredients. - 9/27/12

  No Anchovy's or Capers for me. I stick with just olives, garlic and feta cheese. A must for parties. - 12/24/10

  So delicious! I had never made my own Tapenade before trying this recipe. I may add fresh mushrooms next time just to taste the difference. - 10/30/10

  Very nice. I don't see where it makes 2 cups, but then perhaps I chopped it finer than was intended. I used kalamata olives so it was a bit darker and richer I think. I had it as a bedtime snack with toasted flax seed and soy sandwich rounds toasted. And a handful of grapes. - 10/21/12

  These R the classic ingreds, but many Italians change it to taste. Try it as part of trad. antipasti: Platters of yummy little dishes w great bread. Give UR guests small plates, wine & permission to pick away at the dishes. They'll chat & have a great time for AGES while U finish the mains! :) - 10/14/12

  I've heard from chefs on cookery programmes that you don't taste the "fish" when you use anchovies, it's really just another condiment. So it's good to hear that somewhere that's not a chef on TV!
  This sounds like something I want to have in my fridge. - 9/27/12

  I love briny, salty, savory toppings. This would be wonderful on a sandwich or on squash (instead of pasta). That reminds me: I have squash in the fridge! - 9/12/12

  Is there a substitute for anchovy paste? I just can't tolerate the thought. Some other salty option... Worcestershire sauce perhaps? - 4/17/12

  I really liked this Tapenade recipe and last time I made it I made it exactly. I even had Anchovy Paste in my fridge ! Faint ! and Just saw a recipe for an Antipasto Chicken sandwich and thought of Chef Meg's Tapenade ! Now I can try it MY (her) WAY ! Next time will try it on a Cajun Sandwich !

  Very tasty! I added a few more black olives to balance the saltiness. Perhaps try rinsing the green olives? Probably depends on whether they were brined or not. Am having on toast with fried egg on top. - 4/24/11

  I made this with only green olives by substituting canned Homestyle Pearls Green Ripe Olives. Those olives taste similar to canned black olives, but they tend to be a little less woody. The tapenade was delicious! Plus, it was a lovely, green color. - 4/21/11
