Marinated Black Olives (Tapas) image

Recipe from Ryland, Peters, and Small's Tapas Cookbook. These olives need to marinate at room temperature for 2 weeks prior to serving, so plan ahead. They make a wonderful appetizer for any party and are perfect gifts around the holidays (put them in pretty square glass jars that you find at craft stores)!

SPICY MARINATED BLACK OLIVES

ZWT7, Italy. Marinated to piquant perfection, these olives are far from ordinary. To fully develop the flavor of garlic in the recipe, it is best to allow the olives to marinate for at least several days before serving. Olives spiced with chillies make a delicious mezze dish in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan & Turkey. They are often served with cubes of firm salted white cheese that is either drizzled with olive oil or fried such as, Recipe #120978. Haloom cheese is particularly good for this.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
8 rib lamb chops, bones scraped of fat
2 medium fennel bulbs, tops removed and finely chopped, bulbs very finely shaved
1 cup white wine
2 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
2 tablespoons pitted and chopped Nyons olives
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil, garlic and pepper in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the lamb chops. Place the lamb chops in the dish and coat well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Wipe the oil off the lamb chops. Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the chops and sear until medium rare, about 30 seconds per side. Remove the chops from the skillet and wrap in foil to keep warm.
  • Reduce the heat to very low. Add the shaved fennel, cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the fennel is soft, about 20 minutes. Remove the fennel from the skillet with a slotted spatula and divide among 4 warmed plates.
  • Increase the heat and add the white wine and chicken broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes. Stir in the olives and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place 2 lamb chops over the fennel on each plate, spoon the sauce over the top, sprinkle with the fennel tops and serve immediately.
