Red Pepper Tapenade

Prep 5 mins   Eat 5 mins

Looking for appetizer ideas for your spring party?   This Red Pepper-Tomato Tapenade will take you five minutes to whip up in your food processor.  It’s delicious and it’s different.  The ingredients are items you can have on hand to make at a moment’s notice. You can serve it on fresh baguette slices, crostini toasts, crackers, chips or as a dip for fresh veggies.

Tapenade made in Pampered Chef Manual Food Processor

Occasionally I sell some Pampered Chef products and this recipe came to me in their mini-book called Season’s Best.  It shows off one of their new products, the Pampered Chef Manual Food Processor, which I do love.  Imagine a mini food processor that uses no electric power.  You pump the machine as you would a salad spinner and within two minutes you have yourself a Fresh Food in a Flash Tapenade.  You can purchase one from me or you can use your own food processor.  Pulse the ingredients so they stay chunky.

I showed how to make this 5-Minute Roasted Red Pepper & Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade at the beginning of our 30-Minute Meals Cooking Class.  We slathered this onto freshly baked baguette slices and they were gone in a flash! I had to grab a few quick to snap this picture! Make the Red Pepper-Tomato Tapenade to serve at your next party!

5-Minute Roasted Red Pepper & Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade

Make this tapenade in a food processor faster than you can select and pay for a prepared appetizer at the supermarket! The ingredients are items you can have on hand to make at a moment's notice. This recipe was created for the Pampered Chef manual food processor, but I've rewritten the recipe so that it can be made in any food processor. Serve on anything, crackers, chips, baguette slices, toasts or even as a dip for veggies.
