    That sounds fantastic. I don’t have a food processor, but slice’n’dicing would work well too, I’d imagine. Miam!!!

  2. If you don’t have a food processor, use the olive tapenade recommended in the Bon App?®tit recipe. I adjusted the recipe because olives in a can are less expensive than a ready made tapenade and I have a food processor. 🙂
