INGREDIENTS
| 12 | oz | Pitted green salad olives |
| drained | ||
| 1 | Shallot, finely chopped | |
| 1 | t | Fresh lemon juice |
| Freshly ground pepper | ||
| 1/2 | c | Olive oil |
| 1 | Handful chives, chopped |
INSTRUCTIONS
In a food processor or small mixer, combine olives, shallot, lemon juice, pepper and half of the olive oil. Add anchovies if desired. Pulse until mixture is a course paste consistency. Use more oil if necessary. I like to vary the coarseness according to what I am going to serve. A coarser consistency is good for vegetable crudites (a basket of green onions, fennel slices, cherry tomatoes). A smoother tapenade is good spread on thin slices of baguette, toasted, or thicker chunks of sourdough bread. For a smoother tapenade, use all of the olive oil and blend until creamy and smooth. Top with a sprinkling of chives and serve.

A Message from our Provider:
“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
