Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup pitted green olives -- a couple of handfuls
2 tablespoons capers -- drained
1 can tuna -- drained
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon cumin
freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
olive oil -- as necessary
To serve: -- cooked pasta

Boil water for pasta, and cook it.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine a couple of handfuls of pitted
green olives (cured, not the pimento stuffed green cocktail olives), a few
tablespoons of capers, a drained can of tuna, a couple of cloves of
garlic, a teaspoon of cumin, freshly ground black pepper to taste, and
olive oil as necessary to get a coarse paste.

Put the tapenade in a bowl; drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking
water. Add the pasta to the tapenade, tossing to coat; add pasta water or
olive oil as needed to make a sauce.

Serves 4

AuthorNote: European tuna, packed in oil, is essential here.
ChupaNote: Add fresh parsley, cilantro, and mint leaves with the olives.
When tossing with the pasta, sprinkle generously with red pepper flakes.
