Greek Island Tapenade
This tapenade is a great side for grilled meat, fish, or vegetables. You can also just serve it with hot grilled bread. For the best results, use Greek olives and Greek thyme honey for this recipe.
We recommend pitting the olives yourself, since it’s so easy to do and so much better than pre-pitted olives. Just put some olives on a cutting board and mash them with the palm of your hand to remove the pits.
