1. To make tapenade, put olives, capers, anchovies and
garlic in container of food
processor or blender, along with a bit of olive oil.
Pulse machine once or twice, and
swiftly add remaining olive oil while machine is running.
Do not purée. You want a
coarse, uneven blend. (If you have the energy, you can
chop all the ingredients by
hand or grind them with mortar and pestle.) Thin with
more olive oil if you like.

out the seeds, squeezing
gently. Chop. Toss with tapenade, and some salt and pepper
if necessary. Stir in basil
leaves. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve. Yield: 4
servings.
