  Tapenade is a wonderful olive sauce from the south of France. It is
  delicious on French bread or with crudites and can also make a
  delicious sauce for grilled meats and fish.
  
  Place everything in a blender except the basil and blend on high
  speed. Add more olive oil if too thick.  Pour into a bowl and stir
  in the basil. This will keep for 10 days.
