Take 250 grams of pitted black olives (main) and rinse them thoroughly to remove any excess salt or brine.
In a food processor, combine the black olives, 2 tablespoons of capers (drained), 2 cloves of garlic (peeled), 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches a coarse, chunky texture. You can adjust the consistency according to your preference.
While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (main) until the tapenade reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the tapenade and adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper, if needed.
Transfer the olive tapenade to a serving bowl and serve with crusty bread, crackers, or as a topping for grilled vegetables or fish.
