Ingredients

1 cup pecans soaked in spices
1 cup mushrooms soaked in spices
1 clove garlic
2 sliced roma tomatoes
10 oil cured black olives
10 oil cured black olives
various spices

Recipe Directions

This tapenade is better than the usual you find in restaurants because it is higher in protein and has a mushroom flavor. I wanted to make something that would appeal to a meat-eater so I used a shot of Worcestershire and olive oil, and a couple shakes of McCormicks’ Montreal Steak flavor seasoning added to purified water. I also added a chopped clove of garlic. I poured it on the pecans so that it covered the top and let them sit for a few hours. I used the same sauce on the dried mushrooms.I made two batches one with only pecans and one with the olives, mushrooms and pecans. The measurement of mushrooms was about a cup raw then I dehydrated them and it was a little less than a half a cup before rehydrating. I split up the pecans so it was half a cup of pecans for each batch.

This can be scooped on about anything but I used a couple roma tomatoes we grew on the deck. They were the perfect circumference.

In the pic is Logan the cat- sticking his tongue out a little and the olive salsa I made. (See Guacamole Lite Recipe)

You may want to follow Chris Carlton's recipe or just add your own spices to taste.

I was inspired by recipes on this site for this. I took chriscarltons steak idea but soaked the mushrooms in other sauce and the idea for walnut taco meat by kandace but used pecans and different seasonings. I am so excited about this as it was sooo good!

Oh how cute Logan is!:) I am hopefully going to try this recipe. I just bought some Raw Olive Tapenade from SunFood and was disappointed in it. It isn't very much like a Tapenade. Thanks so much! Looks delish! I can't use worsteshire so I'll have to think up a spice to use.
