Shiitake Tapenade

This stylish dish is redolent of Shiitake and olives. We’ve devised a dish for those who enjoy drinking! Here, we’ve chosen to serve it with a baguette, but you can enjoy it alongside grilled foods such as fish or meat instead. There are any number of combinations you could create, and we hope you’ll give it a try. The key to this dish is to stir it until it’s entirely blended. If it isn’t uniform, the flavors won’t meld. After you blend it in the food processor, we recommend moving it into a bowl and giving it one more good stir before serving. Recipe provided by: Hattori Nutrition College
