Рецепт Halloween - Vampire Blood Tapenade

by Sid's Sea Palm Cooking

I wanted to come up with a creepy name for this totally delicious spread.   I was thinking along the lines of Vampire Vanquisher, or something like that, and then as I was reading a book, a line in there caught my attention.  They talked about how Vampires don't have blood running through their veins, it's more coagulated. Well, this recipe is right on then.  It should also keep those pesky Vampires away as well.  Hey, if you're a garlic lover, this recipe is for you.  It tastes wonderful, but more importantly, at least for Halloween purposes, it's a little, well, a lot on the creepy side. Doncha' love it when it all comes together? It sure did on this.  And best of all, it came together on a night when we got a last minute invite, and I was able to go into the pantry, pick out a couple of things, and throw it together. And everyone loved it.  So much so I did a repeat a couple of weeks later, and again, it was eaten. I love it when a recipe comes together that fast and people love it. This is perfect for Halloween though.  The appearance is that of coagulated blood and I bet it would be great served in a bread bowl or another fun receptacle.   In other words, go forth and have fun.  Yield: 6-10 servingsAuthor: Sid's Sea Palm CookingPrint Recipe Vampire Blood Tapenade prep time: 10 MINScook time: total time: 10 mins A fun appetizer for Halloween, or anytime.
