Uncle Charlie's Kalamata Tapenade Recipe

Dissatisfied with the tapenade recipes I found on the Internets in comparison with C.'s Uncle Charlie's recipe, I hounded Chaz for his formula. Raise all your friends' blood pressure (while simultaneously lowering their cholesterol) this New Year's!

Ingredients:

1 clove garlic, chopped
1 3/4 cups whole, pitted kalamata olives
1 (2 oz.) can anchovy fillets, rinsed
2 T capers
1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
3 T lemon juice
4 T olive oil

Directions:

Combine garlic, olives, anchovies, capers, thyme, rosemary and lemon juice in an electric blender. Slowly drip the olive oil into the blender while you are blending the ingredients together. Blend until a paste is formed.
