15 Reviews of Two-Step Artichoke Tapenade

I loved this tapenade. We had it with english water crackers and I plan to serve it tonight with crusty bread. Next time I make it I will use only half of the garlic--it's good with 4 but I love artichokes and roasted red peppers so much I'd like more of that flavor to come through. I also think some grated lemon zest would be good since you have to buy a lemon for the recipe anyway--may as well use it all. Thanks for the great recipe. Update: I warmed some leftover tapenade and served it over baked fish---DELISH!!! I now think it would be a great warmed over pasta. This is going to be fun trying new uses for a great recipe.

This is some GOOD stuff! I wish I could give it TEN STARS! Yum, yum, yum! I made this to take to bunco tonight and it was incredibly delicious. I served it with thin slices of Italian bread that I toasted lightly in the oven. Oh so tasty! Everyone loved it and commented on how wonderful it was. Very very good! Lots of requests for the recipe. Oh, did I mention this is G-O-O-D good? I followed the directions exactly and it was a snap to make. I can so see it as a sandwich spread, on chicken, or with veggies. I will definitely be making this recipe again! Thanks so much for sharing it with us all!

This is SO good and so fast and easy to make! I have made it for several parties and everyone has LOVED it! I usually substitute the red peppers for sun dried tomatoes, but it's great both ways. Might have to try it w/ some feta - YUM! Good w/ crackers, veggies, off of your fingers....!

This was very good. I would use just a little less olive oil the next time, as there was a little oil clinging to the peppers and artichokes. I get together with some girlfriends and play cards. I brought this to one of our card-playing parties. Everyone liked it. I served with crackers. Thank you!

Well, I don't even like Artichokes and I liked this. I made it because it sounded interesting and I had all the ingredients on hand (which is odd). Really good with wheat crackers. Thanks for the recipe.

This I had to make, anything with artichokes I can not resist. It turns a chicken or ham sandwich into an epicurean pleasure. And on a hot cheese pizza mmmmmmmmmmgood

Nice change from the olive tapenades out there. Served on toasted baguette bread. Wonderful flavor! Thanks

Hubby and I ate it all ourselves (oink)! We sat outside with this, a bag of salt free tortilla chips and a pitcher of sangria. Happy little piggies, we were! I cut the capers in half and added chopped kalamata olives just because. I'll bet crumbled feta would be good in this too.

I was really disappointed in the taste of this tapenade, especially since I love all the ingredients individually. My first reaction to tasting it on some bruchetta was that it was bitter/sour despite some extra parmesan cheese to try an tone it down. I made it to take to my daughter's house as the appetizer and everyone had the same poor opinion of this recipe as I did. Too bad...maybe I'll try it again without the lemon juice and add some feta as another reviewer suggested.

This is awsome! It also makes a lot. I will also try tossing this with hot pasta and a little extra EVOO. Also over steamed cauliflower and over grilled chicken breat. This is so versatile! Thanks for this super recipe!
