Appetizer: Tapenade

2 cups black Kalamata olives,
pitted
4 garlic cloves, peeled
3 or 4 chopped anchovy filets, or 1 tablespoon
anchovy paste
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chervil
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Place all ingredients except
pepper in bowl of a food processor and process
until a coarse paste forms. Season to taste

Pair the lusty, strong flavors of this spread
