BLACK OLIVE, ANCHOVY, & CAPER SPREAD (GARUM)
In ancient Rome, garum was a pungent all-purpose condiment made from fermented anchovies, not unlike present-day Asian fish sauce. In modern Catalonia, the name refers to a spread similar to the French tapenade made of olives, anchovies, capers, sometimes mashed egg yolks, and either olive oil or butter. This recipe, flavored with rum and a touch of mustard, is adapted from the one served at the Hotel Ampurdan in Figueres. The hotel is legendary for its robust Catalan cooking and credited with naming this spread 'garum'. Try to find olives that are pungent, but not vinegary and briny. The spread is delicious on toasted baguette rounds or slices of grilled country bread. It also makes a fine accompaniment to grilled meat, chicken or fish. Adapted from the cookbook, "The New Spanish Table"

Steps:
- Place the olives, anchovies, capers, garlic, egg yolk, rum and mustard in a food processor and process in quick pulses to a medium-fine paste, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed. Gradually add the olive oil, pulsing several times after each addition. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour so that the flavors develop. Serve with grilled bread, toast or bread sticks. The spread can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 weeks.
- Note: if the only pitted olives you can find are Kalamatas, soak them briefly in cold water and use fewer capers and anchovies. To pit olives, place them in a plastic bag. Lay the bag on a flat surface, and crush them lightly with the flat side of a large knife, mallet or heavy skillet. Then pick out and discard the pits. Cooking time includes standing time.

Tips:
- Choose the right anchovies. Look for anchovies that are packed in oil and have a firm texture. Avoid anchovies that are packed in salt, as they will be too salty for the spread.
- Drain the anchovies well. Before using the anchovies, drain them thoroughly to remove any excess oil.
- Use a sharp knife to chop the anchovies. This will help to prevent the anchovies from becoming mushy.
- Add some acidity to the spread. This can be done by adding lemon juice, vinegar, or white wine. The acidity will help to balance out the richness of the anchovies.
- Season the spread to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve the spread immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. The spread can be served on crackers, bread, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Anchovies and pimiento spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
