Garlic-Olive-Caper Spread "Tapenade"


1 cup Niçoise or Greek olives, rinsed and pitted
2 tablespoons capers
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/2-1 cup pine nuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or basil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
11/2-2 cups stemmed parsley

Using a mortar and pestle or food processor, blend all of the ingredients until the tapenade is just smooth enough to spread without becoming a paste. Tapenade will keep a week in the refrigerator and the flavor will intensify with age.

Makes 11/2 to 2 cups
