                      Pecan & Sundried Tomato Tapenade

                      Published by Grace O
                      Pecan Tomato Relish

                      I found the inspiration for this tapenade while at a health spa in Mexico. Of course, I put my own special FoodTrients spin on it to create a great topping for fish and a dip for crackers and bread. The pecans can be toasted or raw. I like to use sundried tomatoes preserved in olive oil.

                      Benefits
                      Pecans contain omega-3 fatty acids, which can help improve your blood circulation by lowering triglycerides, or bad fats. Omega-3s help your skin by reducing inflammation that can lead to accelerated skin aging. Tomatoes, especially sundried, are a rich source of lycopene, an antioxidant that lowers cancer risk, protects cognitive function, and promotes prostate health.

                      Chef’s Note: To make a wonderful salad dressing out of the tapenade, blend it in a food processor with up to 1/2 cup olive oil.  

                      Yields 1 1/2 cups

                      Ingredients

                      1/2 cup olive oil
                      1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
                      1/2 cup minced sundried tomatoes
                      2-3 Tbs. sliced black olives
                      2 Tbs. minced cilantro leaves
                      2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
                      1 Tbs. minced roasted garlic
                      1 Tbs. low-sodium soy sauce or tamari sauce

                      Procedure

                      1. Mix all the ingredients in a glass bowl.

                      Goes great on top of Salmon Poached in Pickling Spices!
