Tapenade: A Provençal dish consisting of puréed or finely chopped olives, capers, olive oil, and sometimes anchovies which is usually eaten with bread as an hors d’œuvre. Originally tapanade was only made with black olives, but now there is also tomato and eggplant tapenades.

Today’s recipe is Kalamata Olive Tapenade with earthy, robust Kalamata olives. Tapenade is simple, quick to make, delicious and addictive. Kalamata olives are the Mediterranean diet’s best-kept secret superstar. Not only are they bursting with flavor, but they also pack a powerful punch of health benefits.

Today’s treat is another fun food art for your Halloween gatherings – Deviled eggs decorated with black olive spiders. Like last Monday’s recipe for Monster Eyes, use your favorite deviled egg recipe or mine. If you want a gross monster look, add a few drops of green food coloring to the egg yolk filling. I’m not crazy about food coloring, and I stayed with the traditional yellow filling. I think it’s still fun. Cut your eggs in half lengthwise and fill with your deviled egg mixture.
