The saltiness of your olives will determine how many anchovies you use. For best results, make the recipe in the following amount, making additional batches if you want larger quantities. It will keep for a few weeks in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
- 4 cups unpitted green, Mediterranean-style olives
- 4 to 6 whole salt-packed anchovies (or 10 to 12 oil-cured anchovy fillets)
- 1/4 lb. (about 1 cup) slivered almonds, toasted
- 1 Tbs. minced garlic
- 1 Tbs. capers, drained
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice (optional)

Preparation
- Pit the olives with a knife; set aside. If using salt-packed anchovies, wash the Âanchovies in several changes of Âwater. Separate the fillets by running a knife or your finger along the backbone; remove any large bones. Put the Âpitted olives, anchovies, almonds, garlic, capers, lemon juice, and olive oil in a food processor; process until a coarse paste forms.
- It makes a tangy topping for savory tarts and pizza and is delicious tossed with pasta along with a little olive oil and some fresh goat cheese. Brennan also tucks this tapenade under the skin of a chicken breast as a flavor booster.

I have made this recipe over and over again. It is terrific. I use it in pasta, on sandwiches and even mix it into pasta sauce.
