A full-flavored olive spread, popular in the Mediterranean.
1. Pulse the olives, capers, garlic, anchovies, thyme, and rosemary in a food processor or blender until finely chopped.
2. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, and hot pepper and process to form a thick paste. Serve in a small bowl with slices of toasted French bread.
Good with crudites and a selection of Mediterranean appetizers.
Prepare ahead: The tapenade can be refrigerated, stored in an airtight container, and filmed with a thin layer of olive oil, for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before serving.
