Prepares in just a few minutes.

Serve with crackers or toasted slices of artisan bread.

INGREDIENTS:

* 1/2 cup black olives

* 1/2 cup green olives

* 1 tablespoon capers (optional)

* 2 cloves garlic

* 2 tablespoons olive oil

* 1 teaspoon lemon juice

* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

PREPARATION:
If you've got a food processor, you can simply process all ingredients for a few seconds, being careful not to process too finely, since tapenade should not be smooth.

If you don't have a food processor, finely mince the olives and garlic, then combine with all the other ingredients, mixing well.

Serve with crackers, flatbread, baguette, or slices of a toasted artisan bread.
