This is so delightful! It really surprised me how well the flavors all went together. A nice twist on the usual tapenade. I will definitely be making it again!
Tapenade Noir à la Figue (Olive Spread with Figs)
This classic Provençal spread made with black olives and cured anchovies gets a chewy texture and sweet flavor from the addition of dried Black Mission figs. Serve it on slices of baguette or as a spread with a cheese board. This recipe first appeared in our June/July 2012 issue along with Sylvie Bigar's story The Road to Paradise.
