Olive Tapenade

Serves 6


300g black olives, pitted
3 tablespoons capers, rinsed
8 anchovies
1 garlic clove, crushed
180ml olive oil
1 tbs lemon juice
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chopped thyme
1 tbs chopped parsley

Pound together the olives, capers, anchovies and garlic, either using a mortar and pestle or a food processor.  Add the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard and herbs and pound or process again until you have a fairly rough paste.

Serve with bread for dipping.
