I prefer oil-cured olives for this tapenade. They have an intense flavor, and they blend into a nice, smooth paste. This tapenade makes a delicious pizza topping (enough for eight small pizzas); leftovers make a tasty addition to summer salads, pastas, and sandwiches.

more about:

1 cup pitted Kalamata or Gaeta olives (preferably oil-cured)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup diced red onion
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed and roughly chopped
3 Tbs. drained capers
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. Cognac
1 tsp. cracked black pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until finely chopped and well combined.
