Preparation

1. Place tuna, anchovy fillets, capers, garlic and olives in the bowl of a food processor or blender and process briefly, just to mix. With processor running, slowly pour in olive oil until well blended. Final consistency should be grainy.
2. Remove mixture from processor and place in a serving bowl. Add lemon juice to taste and mix well. Serve immediately, with crisp toast fingers or slices of crusty bread.

• May be stored, covered, in refrigerator for up to a week, but should be let warm to room temperature before serving. Tapenade could also be served as a dip before dinner.
