Any type of olive can be used to make tapenade, but brine-cured black olives are the usual choice. For an especially robust tapenade, try a combination of half oil-cured and half brine-cured black olives. Yields about 1 cup

Star Star Star Star Star by CookPilates, 9/29/2011I love this tapenade! Easy to make and a wonderful blend of flavor. Great with pita or fresh veggies. My favorite way to eat it @ breakfast is in a pita with arugula and an egg.
