The tapenade is great in pasta, served as an appetizer on bread rounds, or over another mild fish or thin chicken breast. It's a great way to use up your green tomatoes at the end of the season. You can also make a big batch and freeze it. It is a nice taste of late summer when it's cold out. I do have to say, I think this is good enough; I am looking forward to summer's first tomatoes that might just not get a chance to ripen!

If you're looking for a way to use up green tomatoes this is a great recipe! I followed the recipe exactly as written. Next time I would probably add garlic while cooking the onion. The flavor is wonderful and I think it would be great tossed with pasta not even using the fish. This will definitely be a go-to recipe when I have green tomatoes. Read More

This was a good recipe - I had fresh plum tomatoes and green tomatoes so I used those with a little cherry pepper - Next time I would kick it up with a little more heat with maybe a little jalapeño and a little garlic - over all though it was very good Read More

I made it with fresh green and red tomatoes with fresh sweet banana peppers and enjoyed this over pasta. We liked the tart bright flavor and look forward to trying it again with fish. Thanks for a nice recipe to use with the abundance of produce that must be be picked to save it from frost. Read More

I made this tonight with sliced chicken breast instead of tilapia. I followed the recipe but added 1/2 diced jalapeño. I served it over buttered jasmine rice. It was delightful. When the hubby was finished with his second serving I said "so you like green tomatoes of they are with red tomatoes?". The look on his face??. It was a hit!! Read More
