FISH FILLET WITH GARLIC BUTTER AND BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat butter and garlic at medium heat until butter is frothy. Reduce heat to medium-low (or at low heat if butter is golden too fast) and cook for 15 minutes or until butter is golden, stirring from time to time. Reduce in purée the garlic cloves. Add red bell pepper, black olives and capers and cook for 4 minutes. Add sage and lemon juice and stir.
• Meanwhile, in another large skillet, heat oil at medium-high heat. Add fish fillets and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until golden and the flesh is easy to flake with a fork (flip the fillets one time during cooking). Garnish the fillets with garlic butter and olives.

GARLIC & BLACK OLIVE SHARING BREAD

Steps:

• Warm 80ml of the milk in a small pan over a low heat or in the microwave and add 1 tbsp sea salt. Stir to dissolve and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, melt half the butter in 200ml of the milk in a saucepan set over a medium heat, along with the sugar and half the garlic. Leave to cool until lukewarm.
• Tip the flour and yeast into the large bowl of a stand mixer and mix together using the dough hook attachment. Gradually work in the melted butter and milk mixture. Once the dough begins to come together, add the salted milk, parsley and half the olives. Keep mixing for 6 mins using the dough hook, or turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 10 mins.
• Oil the bowl, add the dough, then rub oil over the top. Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for at least 1 hr or until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a small saucepan over a low heat, and add the remaining crushed garlic and remaining olives. Warm the garlic and olives through for a few minutes, then leave to cool.
• Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently punch it back. Divide it into seven pieces, between 130-140g each, and roll them into tight balls, tucking the edges underneath so the balls are perfectly smooth with the seams on the underside. Arrange in a 20-23cm round cake tin lined with baking parchment, ensuring the dough balls are equally spaced around the edge with one in the middle. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise until roughly doubled in size again, about 20-30 mins.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the dough with the garlic butter, avoiding the olives. Bake in the oven for 30-35 mins until golden brown on top and cooked through. Pour over the remaining garlic butter along with the olives. Will keep for up to three days in an airtight container.

LINGUINE WITH GARLIC, FRESH TUNA, BLACK OLIVES, TOMATOES AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Place a large pot of salted water over high heat. In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Season the tuna on each side with salt and pepper, and when the oil is nearly smoking, add the tuna.
• Reduce the skillet heat to medium and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the pan and let cool on a plate.
• Return the skillet with the oil to medium heat. Add the garlic, anchovies, chili pepper flakes and tomatoes and toss to warm.
• Meanwhile, break the tuna steaks into bite-sized chunks, using a fork. Return the chunks to the skillet over low heat and add the olives, rosemary and balsamic vinegar and toss. Season with salt and pepper to taste, remove from the heat but keep warm.
• When the water has come to a vigorous boil, cook the linguine until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, toss with the tuna and serve.
