Ingredients

10 cloves garlic
2 lemons, juice of
1 (10 ounce) can black olives
1 cup chopped parsley
8 green onions, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped basil
1 cup walnuts
2 cups finely chopped grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup olive oil
1 loaf baguette, sliced in thin rounds

Method

Press the garlic cloves directly into the lemon juice. If you do not own a press, mince the garlic finely before adding it to the juice. Set this mixture aside while you gather the remaining items.
Place all the other ingredients into the bowl of a food processor. Process the contents until they form a paste with a fine, chopped texture.
Transfer the processed mixture to a separate bowl. Stir in the reserved garlic and lemon juice, along with the olive oil, ensuring everything is thoroughly combined.
Present the finished tapenade accompanied by the thinly sliced baguette rounds for serving.
