A creamy, salty tapenade from mixed olives with my favorite additions. Serve this with toasted baguettes or crudites for a great starter or party food. This recipe yields about a cup of tapenade. Omit the anchovies for a great vegan/vegetarian party dip/sandwich spread.

How to make it
- If you are interested in grinding this to a coarse paste with a marble mortar and pestle, be my guest. I recommend mincing all mince-able ingredients first to make the job a little easier. Add olive oil to tapenade until desired consistency is obtained.
- Me though, I am a fan of my mini food processor and just throw everything in and pulse it a few times, scraping the sides down ever-few pulses and then letting it go for a minute or two while I stream in olive oil until it's as wet/creamy as I like it...kind of like when making pesto. Don't get carried away though, you want your spread to be a coarse paste, not a puree.
- Either method will produce a fantastic tapenade that you'll be looking for things to eat it on, like bread, veggies, eggs, a spoon...
