Rustic Fig and Olive Tapenade

Tapenade is a Provençal dish made from finely chopped olives, capers, usually anchovies, and olive oil. For this version, I added some figs and some fresh herbs, for a delectable twist on a classic. This Rustic Fig and Olive Tapenade will be the perfect hors-d’oeuvres that can be enjoyed with a cocktail. It’s a very simple recipe, just get yourself a nice baguette, and you’re set!
