When you're using up what you have in the house... (RECIPE)

[Guest guest]

you come up with some interesting things! I'm back from visiting

family in NY, and have only a few days until we move to CA. I made

this yeasterday and it was good!

 

Black Bean Faux Tapenade by me

(all measurements are approximate)

 

2 cups cooked black beans out of the freezer, thawed

1/4 c capers

2 tbsp mustard, about half dijon and half classic

2 tsp lemon juice

1 tbsp minced garlic

2 tbsp olive oil

minced parsley (frozen or fresh)

 

run through the food processor in pulses, just til it's a little

smooth, a little chunky. The texture is reminiscent of the " deviled "

part of deviled eggs, but the taste is a lot more like tapenade. In

any case, it's yummy on a whole grain cracker, or in a pita with

greens and tomatoes.
