- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Instructions
Place the pitted green olives, capers, garlic cloves, parsley, and anchovy fillets (if using) in the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse the ingredients a few times until roughly chopped.
Add the lemon juice and black pepper to the mixture.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the tapenade reaches your desired consistency. It should be slightly coarse but spreadable.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice or black pepper to your preference.
