I thought this was a nice blend of flavors, but I was rather taken aback by the strong and somewhat over powering flavor of garlic. Next time I'll use less garlic, but nonetheless this was quite tasty and I will definitely be making this again. As other reviewers have said, goat cheese is a must for this recipe.

Some of my guests really loved this tapenade. I think it may have been too spicy for others. I might try it again without the cayenne.

This was really spectacular, and unlike anything I'd had before. I served this at a card party on thinly sliced pieces of a good baguette and my friends devoured the whole plate. I used equal parts fresh goat cheese mixed with cream cheese and a few tablespoons of butter.

This was a big hit at the party! Like another reviewer, I used fresh figs (double the dried-fig measure and half the water). It takes a while to reduce. Once the other ingredients are added, it's absolutely imperative that the mixture is left to sit overnight. Served over softened cream cheese, with Lesley Stowe brand crackers. So! Good! I know there would only be dried figs available in the fall/winter, but with the walnuts on top, this would look especially lovely at a Thanksgiving or Christmas table.

This was really good! I put the dried herbs in a pestle and mortar, and smushed them. So had no problem with "crunchy" herbs..

I entered a competition today called "Fig-Fest" and won first place with this recipe. Awesome! The dried thyme is not a problem if allowed to chill overnight so that it soaks up the seasoning. Stir well before layering on cream cheese! Wonderful!

I made this for a wine and cheese party, and hardly any of the other cheeses were touched! This was literally devoured within an hour, and I had used a large goat cheese log from Costco! Many thanks for a fabulous recipe.

This was great. I used less balsamic vinegar than the recipes wanted, because it's a strong flavor and I didn't want to lose the fig flavor. The vinegar was still kind of strong, so I might add even less next time. It was great anyway, though. I took it to a girls' night get-together and the hostess asked me for the recipe.

I was looking for something besides the same old recipes to take to a party and made this. It is really good! Tastes even better the next day.

This was fantastic! I used extra olives... probably about 3/4 cup and served with water crackers. Everyone raved about it. I will definitely make it again.

I, too, wanted to really like this recipe. It honestly was the worst thing I have ever tasted, and I followed the recipe to a "T". This recipe was a very expensive way to learn that something isn't to my liking.

For the time and effort that went into this, I wanted it to knock my socks off. It was okay, just not sensational. It made a nice looking presentation. We served it around labneh with triscuits. I liked it, but it didn't hold a candle to our usual roasted olives, grapes, and goat cheese appetizer, which comes together in minutes. Also, as a side note, when selecting your figs, I'd opt for the green variety to make a more visually appealing dish.
