/2 Cup Kalamata olives − (abt 20); pitted  
/2 Anchovy fillet  
/2 Teaspoon Chopped garlic  
Tablespoon Extra−virgin olive oil  
/4 Teaspoon Freshly−ground black pepper; to taste  
Chopped chives; for garnish  
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, toss the bread slices  
with olive oil, coating each side completely. Season the bread with salt and  
pepper. Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake until crispy and slightly  
golden−brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the croutons from the oven and  
place on a large plate. Season the tuna steak with olive oil, salt and  
pepper. Place the tuna on a hot grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on  
each side for medium−rare. Combine all of the remaining ingredients in a  
food processor and puree for 15 seconds or until the mixture is smooth.  
Slice the tuna into 12 equal slices and place one slice on top of each  
crouton. Dab a spoonful of the tapenade on top of each tuna slice. Garnish  
with chopped chives. This recipe yields 1 dozen crostinis.
