  • ¼ cups pitted kalamata olives
  • ¼ cups pitted green olives
  • 2 tbsp. finely chopped parsley

  • 2 tsp. capers, rinsed
  • 2 anchovy filets
  • 1 tomato, cored and chopped
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 4-oz. fillets sole or flounder

Instructions

Step 1

Combine 2 tbsp. oil, olives, parsley, garlic, vinegar, capers, anchovies, tomato, and salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped; set tapenade aside.
