Artichoke Tapenade in Endive
Hard to believe it’s two months since I took over the Inn and it has been a very busy time. I so appreciate all the return visits from the loyal Abingdon Manor guests this summer and look forward to meeting many more of you as we approach the traveling months.
We’ve added a new starter to the menu this summer which takes just 10 minutes to prepare.
Across between olive tapenade and pesto, it’s made with artichokes and served in endive leaves.
To good times with great food!
