Black Olive Tapenade

This tapenade is so ridiculously easy, but it seems fancy enough to turn an evening of playing spades in your living room into a sophisticated soiree.  Just the act sitting next to a bowl of beautiful tapenade can make your husband's idiot friends seem like perfect gentlemen who would never dream repeatedly leave the toilet seat up in your bathroom.....you know who you are.

OK, let's do this:

Black Olive Tapenade
makes about 2 cups
total time 3 minutes


1 14 oz jar of pitted black olives, rinsed
3 cloves garlic (I use Gerraro's Greek garlic available here)
1 t dried oregano
1/4 c-ish olive oil
1 t vinegar or liquid from the jar of garlic

Process everything in your little food processor.  Serve with toast.  Put the seat down.
