1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by pitting the black and green olives if they aren't already pitted. Then, measure out 1 cup of each type of olive and set them aside.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the black olives, green olives, capers, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Pulse the mixture until it is coarsely chopped. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
3
Add Lemon Juice and Olive Oil
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the lemon juice and olive oil. Continue to process until the mixture is combined but still has some texture. You can adjust the consistency by adding more olive oil if desired.
4
Season to Taste
Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Pulse a few more times to incorporate the seasoning.
5
Serve
Transfer the tapenade to a serving bowl and enjoy it with slices of crusty bread, crackers, or as a topping for grilled meats or vegetables.
