Kalamata Olive Tapenade

Kalamata Olive Tapenade

"If you like olives then you probably LOVE tapenade. It’s the perfect salty, umami-loaded olive spread to eat while you prepare dinner or are getting ready to go out. Olive tapenade is quick to prepare, super simple and a recipe every olive-lover must have in their recipe box. Here’s a no-fail recipe for olive tapenade that is quick and super lekker (My favourite Dutch expression for describing something tasty/pleasurable that I can’t stop using since I’ve moved to the Netherlands). Apéro If you hang around French people long enough you might start to hear the word apéro. We hear this word whenever we visit our Belgian friends from the French side. It’s just a fancy word for snacks before the meal but the idea of it is great. Everyone meets (usually at someone’s home) for chips, or little snacks with bread and a nice drink. It’s a perfect way to sneak in some snacks and a quick drink before the meal starts or while you’re cooking dinner. In the Netherlands, we don’t really have a word like apéro but definitely a word to describe the feeling – gezellig. Gezellig is the word that doesn’t directly translate to english but best described as a pleasant social setting where everyone is enjoying the moment. Luckily, you don’t have to be French or Dutch to enjoy a nice apéro or gezellig moment! Health Benefits Continued on the blog..."
