Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 4 Minutes

Ready In: 19 Minutes

Servings: 24

Ingredients:

16 ounce(s) pitted green olives (about 40)

3 tablespoon(s) drained capers

3 clove(s) garlic, minced

10 tablespoon(s) olive oil

1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon(s) dried oregano leaves, crushed

1/2 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper

1 loaf(s) sourdough, rosemary or french bread, cut into 1-inch slices

Directions:

1. • Place the olives, capers and garlic into a food processor. Cover and process until the mixture is finely chopped. Add 6 tablespoons oil and the lemon juice and process just until combined. Do not overprocess to purée the mixture.
2. • Spoon the tapenade into a small bowl. Stir in the oregano and black pepper.
3. • Brush the bread slices with the remaining oil. Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium-high. Grill the bread slices for 4 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides, turning the bread slices over once halfway through grilling. Serve with the tapenade for dipping.
