This was a lovely tapenade. I cut back on the anchovy to 3 because my family doesn't care as much for them but I may increase that to 4 next time I make it. I also made it in a food processor but pulsed instead of a steady process so my texture was somewhere in between your #1 and #2. I spread this on some multi-grain artisian bread that I had and it was heaven. Thanks
