Title: Dried Cherry Tapenade from Maddy
Post by: cookie1 on April 09, 2013, 05:47:21 am

Dried Cherry Tepenade

4 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp chopped shallots
1 cup dried cherries (I bought bulk pack online)
5 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2-3 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp dried ground ginger
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Salt & pepper

Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat, and sauté shallots until they begin to brown (2-3 mins).
Add dried cherries, & 3 Tbsp of the red wine vinegar, cook until softened.
Turn heat to low and  add brown sugar & ginger, stirring until sugar is dissolved and incorporated.
Transfer  to food processor, add remaining 3 Tbsp olive oil, remaining 2 Tbsp vinegar, the nuts & lemon juice.
Blend until a thick paste forms.
Season with salt & pepper.  Add 1-2 Tbsp water as needed, to thin to a spreadable consistency  (I didn't bother adding water, and just blitzed all together on turbo)

Great for a cheese board, served as a condiment for pork or turkey, etc.

did you cook the shallots in the TM? or transfer it over where it mentions the food processor?

I did use the frypan as it was already out and in use, but using the TM would be just as easy.
I would recommend preheating the oil first in TM before adding eschalots.
They probably won't brown in TM, but softened would be fine I'm sure.
