Introduction
I can't seem to find a picture of this recipe but I guarantee it's a winner. I served this at an appetizer buffet I hosted one year and I was sorry I didn't make several of these because it went so fast.
Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped stemmed dried Calimyma figs
3 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons chopped pitted Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives
1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 Tablespoon drained capers , chopped
3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
One 5.5-ounce log of soft fresh goat cheese

Fresh thyme sprigs

Directions
Step: 1Combine chopped figs and water in heavy small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until liquid evaporates and figs are soft, about 7 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl. Mix in olives, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, capers, and chopped thyme. Season tapenade to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 days ahead.) Cover and refrigerate.
