Instructions
- Place shallots, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar and garlic in a food processor and pulse on and off until finely chopped. Add olives, basil, salt and pepper and pulse again until chopped. Cover and chill for 1 hour (May be prepared 1 day ahead) Serve with crackers or toasted baguette slices.
- Definately prepare a day ahead! Its much better when the flavors sit for a day.
- I couldn't find smoked dried tomatoes so I used the roasted tomatoes found at the olive bar at New Seasons Market, they were amazing it this tapanade.
