The tapenade is incredibly versatile! Try it tossed with pasta, spread on crostini as an appetizer, or served over other mild fish or chicken. Consider making a double batch of the tapenade and freezing half for a taste of summer during colder months. For a richer flavor, add a clove of minced garlic to the tapenade while cooking. If you don't have green tomatoes, you can substitute with tomatillos.
