Spinach, tapenade and sundried tomato frittata
Background
When you have some leftover homemade or jarred tapenade why don’t you try this super easy Spinach, tapenade and sundried tomato frittata? It’s perfect for lunch, brunch, picnics – or serve it as nibbles at drink-parties. You can make tapenede very quickly by whizzing half a cup of pitted balk olives with one clove of garlic, 1 anchovy fillet from a jar, 2 tsp capers, a handful of basil or parsley and a drop of olive oil & lemon juice (or follow this tapenade recipe)! This will be more than you'll need for this recipe, so keep the leftover in a jar and use it for stuffing meats & veggies, or for toppings, dips and sauces.
