NOTES : A kind of Greek tapenade, this spread of olives, garlic and capers from

the island of

Syros was traditionally made by patiently pounding the ingredients in a mortar

with a pestle, and

there are purists who insist that the flavor is inferior if you use a food

processor. The

difference, if any, is that you end up with a somewhat moister spread.
