3/4 cup pitted dry-cured black olives
1/4 cup salt-packed capers, soaked 
   and drained
3 tbsp. sliced almonds
5 oil-packed anchovy filets, drained
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
8 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. fresh orange or lemon juice

1. Combine the olives, capers, almonds, anchovies, garlic, and 2 tbsp. oil in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped. Transfer olive mixture to a small bowl and add the remaining oil and orange juice in a thin stream while whisking vigorously.


2. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors meld. The tapenade will keep, refrigerated and covered, for up to 4 days.
