Tapenadetomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place baguette slices in single layer on cookie sheet. Bake 5 minutes, turn. Bake 5 minutes longer or until toasted.
• In food processor, place all Tapenade ingredients, except feta cheese. Cover; process until mixture is finely diced, scraping bowl if necessary.
• Using slotted spoon, serve tapenade on crostini; sprinkle with feta cheese.

Steps:

• Combine garlic, olives, anchovies, capers, thyme, rosemary and lemon juice in an electric blender. Slowly drip the olive oil into the blender while you are blending the ingredients together. Blend until a paste is formed.

Steps:

• Except for the parsley and oil, place all ingredients in a food processor and process until fairly smooth.
• With the machine running, add the oil from the anchovies first.
• If you want a looser consistency, add some oil from the jar of tomatoes.
• Place in a small bowl and cover.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• To serve, bring the tapenade to room temperature and sprinkle with the parsley.
• Serve on toasted French bread.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy large skillet over low heat. Add onions, sauté until dark brown, occasionally scraping up brown bits, about 30 minutes Transfer onions to processor. Add tomatoes and olive. Using on/off turns, process until chunky paste forms (do not puree). Season with pepper. Cool. (Can be made one week ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)

Steps:

• For the beef taco mix: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the scallions and garlic. Stir and cook briefly, 30 to 60 seconds, then add the ground beef. Break the beef up and cook until it is totally browned, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain most of the fat. Add the taco seasoning, salt, salsa and hot sauce, then stir to combine. Add 1/4 cup hot water and stir. Cook for 3 to 4 more minutes to thicken.
• To serve: While the beef taco mixture cooks, place the tomatoes on a cutting board, with the tops facing down. Using a sharp knife, cut the tops of each into 6 wedges, making sure to not cut all the way through to the bottoms. Gently pull the tomato wedges apart, opening up the centers so they can be filled.
• Taste and adjust the beef taco mix as needed. Fill each tomato with the mix, then top each with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, jalapenos and hot sauce. Garnish with the lime wedges.

Steps:

• Bring a lg. pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta to the water, and cook until al dente, following the suggested cooking time on the box.
• While the pasta cooks, put the olives, olive oil, garlic, parsley, capers, lemon juice, and oregano in a food processor fitted with the metal blade.
• Turning the machine on and off rapidly, pulse the ingredients a few times, then scrape down the work bowl, and process continuously until the mixture forms a coarse but uniform paste.
• As soon as the pasta is done, drain it, and immediately toss with the tapenade, and 1/2 of the Feta and 1/2 of the tomatoes.
• Top with the remaining Feta and tomatoes, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Stir balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl; fold in sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, green olives, and garlic. Season with black pepper. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 2 hours to overnight.
• Arrange cream cheese halves on 2 serving dishes; spoon tapenade over cream cheese.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook linguine according to package instructions. Drain pasta. In pot, heat oil over medium. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Return pasta to pot, stir in tapenade, and cook until heated through. Add arugula andtoss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 bowls, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with parsley and feta.

Steps:

• Pulse all ingredients except oil and shells in a food processor until just combined. With motor running, slowly pour in oil. Do not overprocess: the tapenade should have some chunkiness. Refrigerate for later use or spoon into lemon shells.

Steps:

• Position racks in top third and bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 pastry sheet at a time, roll out on floured surface to 13-inch square. Using 6-inch-diameter plate, cut out 4 rounds from 1 sheet and 2 rounds from second sheet (reserve remaining pastry for another use). Transfer 3 rounds to each baking sheet. Pierce each round with fork. Top rounds with another sheet of parchment. Place another baking sheet atop parchment on each sheet.
• Place 1 baking sheet stack on each rack in oven and bake 10 minutes. Rotate baking sheets and bake until rounds are golden, about 10 minutes longer. Using oven mitts, carefully remove top baking sheets and top sheets of parchment. Continue baking pastries until deep golden, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer sheets to rack to cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
• Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Spread generous tablespoon tapenade over each pastry round, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges. Alternate 4 tomato slices with 4 mozzarella slices atop each pastry in pinwheel pattern. Bake just until cheese begins to melt, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Arrange a few basil leaves and olive slices atop each tartlet and serve immediately.
