Green and Black Olive Tapenade

Condiments - Tapenade - -

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups pitted green olives
1 1/2 cups pitted black olives
2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
2 garlic cloves, crushed with a garlic press or finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

METHOD

In a food processor, finely chop olives; transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in orange and lemon zest.

Using flat side of a large knife, mash anchovies with garlic to form a paste. Add anchovy mixture, parsley, oil, and pepper to olives; stir until blended. Spread on baguette slices.

NOTES

Makes about 2 cups.

The only thing as olivey as olives themselves is tapenade - in this case an amazing crush of green and black olives, extra-virgin olive oil, and just a few well-chosen non-olive ingredients, like orange and lemon zest and garlic.
