Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small fennel bulb -- finely chopped
1 garlic clove -- peeled and minced
3 cups green olives -- (preferably Greek) pitted, rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander -- plus whole leaves for garnish
2 teaspoons fennel seeds -- ground
1 tablespoon finely chopped orange zest
1 cucumbers -- peeled and cut into ½ - inch rounds (1 to 2)

Heat the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet and sauté the fennel and garlic over medium heat until softened slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.

Place the olives in the bowl of a food processor together with the fennel, cayenne, pepper, coriander, fennel seeds and orange zest. Pulse on and off until the mixture becomes the consistency of a dense, chunky paste. Place a scant teaspoon of the tapenade on cucumber rounds, garnish if desired with coriander leaves and serve.
