Author Note: Tapenade is a popular appetizer in the South of France,
originating in Provencal. Traditionally, tapenade is prepared in a mortar and pestle, but I cheat and use my mini food processor. Spread tapenade on crackers, crusty French bread, or crudites.
 
Chef's Note: Make ahead if possible. I find this tapenade tastes even
better the next day.
