Olive Tapenade

This is a recipe that isn't as ubiquitous as Hummus, but is just as easy. It has a great earthy and salty quality. It is also equally versatile; it can be used as an hors d'ouevres or used as a spread for a sandwich. This tapenade can be made a couple days ahead.

Ingredients:
2 cup kalamata olives, pitted
1.5 cups large green olives pitted
1/4 cup roasted red pepper
4 tbsp capers
2 garlic cloves
3 anchovy fillet
1/2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1/2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
1/2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
juice of half a lemon
red pepper flakes

Instructions:
  1. In a food processor, combine all the ingredients, except the olive oil. Using the pulse button, process until coarsely chopped and well blended. 
  2. Continue to process, slowly adding the olive oil. Serve Immediately or refrigerate in a covered container.
