Peel and roughly chop the Enon Valley garlic cloves.
In a food processor, combine the garlic, Kalamata olives, capers, and chopped fresh parsley.
Pulse the mixture a few times until the ingredients are coarsely chopped.
Add the fresh lemon juice, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until it forms a slightly chunky paste, stopping to scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
Taste the tapenade and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice or pepper if desired.
Transfer the tapenade to a serving bowl and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top.
Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
