Ingredients:

3     large         garlic cloves
1 3/4 cups          pitted Kalamata olives or
                    other brine-cured black olives
4                   anchovy fillets
1 1/2 tablespoons   drained capers
1     teaspoon      chopped fresh thyme
1     teaspoon      chopped fresh rosemary
2     tablespoons   fresh lemon juice
6     tablespoons   olive oil
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
1                   French-bread baguette

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Finely chop 1 garlic clove in processor. Add olives, anchovies, capers, thyme and rosemary. Process until almost smooth. Add lemon juice. With machine running, gradually add 4 tablespoons olive oil. Blend mixture until smooth. Season tapenade to taste with pepper. Transfer to small bowl.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange bread slices on 2 baking sheets. Bake bread until crisp and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Rub remaining 2 garlic cloves over 1 side of each crouton. Lightly brush croutons with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Serve croutons warm or at room temperature with tapenade. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover tapenade and refrigerate. Cool croutons completely; store in airtight container at room temperature.)
This recipe yields 6 servings.
