When a recipe calls for tapenade, where can you find it? Try upscale groceries and shops - or better yet, why not make your own? Tapenade has three essential ingredients - capers, anchovies and black olives - pounded or ground into a paste with olive oil, garlic and lemon juice. A blender works well, instead of the traditional mortar and pestle. The word comes from the Provençal ``tapéno,'' meaning capers.
