Orange Tapenade Dip

The flavor of olives seems older than time. And in Provence, where time seems to stand still, the flavor of olives permeates everything, even dessert. This pungent table sauce is based on tapenade, a paste of oil-cured olives, garlic, anchovies, and olive oil that is the ketchup of Provence. It is delicious on almost anything, from grilled asparagus to grilled steak.
