(@juliaconsciente_mente)Instructions:
- In a food processor, combine the pitted green olives, minced garlic, capers, anchovy fillets (if using), and fresh lemon juice. Pulse the mixture several times until it is coarsely chopped and combined.
- With the food processor running, gradually drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until the tapenade reaches your desired consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula as needed.
- Add the chopped fresh parsley, dried oregano, a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper to the tapenade. Pulse a few more times to incorporate the seasonings.
- Taste the tapenade and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed. Transfer the tapenade to a serving bowl or jar, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the tapenade as a spread on crusty bread or crackers, or use it as a flavorful topping for grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. Enjoy the tangy and aromatic goodness of homemade green olive tapenade, and savor the taste of the Mediterranean in every bite.

]]>The post Tips for Adding More Protein to Your Diet appeared first on Cooking 4 All.
]]>Yogurt at breakfast
Yogurt is an easy way to get a huge helping of protein in your meal. Having some with your porridge, or just with some fruit, is a great way to start the day. Protein helps you feel fuller for longer, so if you often find yourself hungry not long after breakfast, then adding some yogurt into the mix will help avoid this.
(@veganiina)Choose a legume as your side
If you often have some veg as your side to your meal, then consider using a legume instead. They are high in vitamins so will give you the same health kick as some broccoli, but have the added benefit of being high in protein. For example, you could have some roasted chickpeas as a side, or some mashed butterbeans.
Have nuts as an afternoon snack
It’s a great idea to have a snack between meals, as it helps keep your energy levels up and stops you from getting too hungry. Nuts are a great choice here, as they’re high in protein and healthy fats which will also help keep you feeling full.
