Method

  1. Prepare Base: Place the pitted Kalamata black olives, rinsed capers, anchovy fillets, and crushed garlic into the bowl of a food processor.

  2. Pulse Aromatics: Pulse the mixture roughly 5 to 6 times until the ingredients are coarsely chopped, ensuring it retains a textured bite rather than turning into a smooth paste.

  3. Incorporate Protein: Flake the drained tuna steak directly into the processor, then add the fresh parsley, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh lemon juice.

  4. Blend & Season: Blend on a low setting for 10 seconds to fully integrate the ingredients, then season generously with black pepper and transfer to a serving dish.

Chef's Tip

Nutritional Insight: This recipe elevates traditional tapenade into a high-protein, low-GI fuel, offering rich omega-3 fatty acids that protect lean muscle and promote sustained fullness to silence food noise on GLP-1 pathways. Culinary Hack: Soak the capers in cold water for five minutes before blending to soften their intense brine, allowing the clean flavour of the tuna and fresh parsley to shine through.
