I love a good olive tapenade that reflects a bit of sunny French Provence into our otherwise cold and damp winter evenings. Most recipes have a hint of anchovy mixed into this sublime spread but I know many that don’t keep anchovies in their kitchen. If you want a fuller flavor, add one or two anchovies to the recipe. This can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days refrigerated.
