Wheat Berry Tapenade

ACTIVE TIME: 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 15 minutes
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Tapenade. It's a classic Italian olive paste, used as a spread. The problem with most tapenades is that they have a lot of flavor but not a lot of substance. So they don't hang in your mouth very long. The addition of wheat berries solves that problem.
