Tapenade (or the similar anchoïade), usually served on toast as an appetizer, has a strong Mediterranian flavor. It can also be used as a basting paste for fowl or beef, or as a stuffing for turkey./Part of the flavor comes from using good "strong" black olives, and the uniqueness comes from the capers ("tapeno" is Provençal for caper).
