Roasted Red Pepper & Artichoke Tapenade

Delicious, addicting tapenade, great for dinner parties, with many other uses as well. Everyone will want the recipe, and it's so easy. Serve with gluten free bagel chips or cracker of choice.

Makes approximately 2 cups.

Ingredients:

• 1 lg jar or roasted red bell peppers

• 2 sm jars of grilled, marinated artichoke hearts

• 10 pitted kalamata olives

• 2 clove roasted garlic

• 1/2 c parmesan cheese, grated (make it dairy free if needed)

• dash salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients to a food processor.

2. Pulse until chopped to a finely chopped tapenade.

3. Transfer to a bowl, and serve with pita bread, pita chips, or hard cracker of your choice. (I used gluten free bagel chips, pictured)

Note: You can also blend the ingredients in the processor until you reach a smooth consistency for a different texture dip (like a hummus), which can also be used as an aioli on sandwiches, or as a great dip for focaccia bread.
