Sea salt & pepper to taste
Mix well and spread in a round serving dish.
Topping
4 thin slices of pumpernickel bread

Place the bread and olives on a baking sheet and cook until crisp, for about 1 hour for the bread and up to 3 hours for the olives.
Add both of the ingredients in a blender and pulse until you reach the desired texture. It should resemble black soil.
