MARINATED GREEN OLIVES (TAPAS)



Marinated Green Olives (Tapas) image

Recipe from Ryland, Peters, and Small's Tapas Cookbook. These olives need to marinate at room temperature for 6 days 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)!

With preserved lemon, fennel seed, chilli and rosemary - combination of some of my favourite flavours and super easy to make. Good with drinks or to take on picnics. One of my friends tells me these are the best olives ever (bold statement, I know!).

Time 10m

Yield 10-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

300 g green olives in brine
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon peppercorn
2 dried chilies
1/2 preserved lemons or 1 lemon, zest of
olive oil, to cover

Steps:

  • Crush the fennel and peppercorns in a pestle and mortar (or crush with the flat side of a knife and give them a bit of a chop). Chop the chillies into smallish pieces.
  • Discard the flesh of the preserved lemon and rinse the skin to remove excess salt. Cut into fine strips (or zest the lemon - but the preserved lemon is so much better!).
  • drain the olives and give them a rinse off in water.
  • Place the olives in a clean jar and add the remaining ingredients. Cover with olive oil and leave to marinate.
  • I have left them as little as a couple of hours and up to a few weeks. Pop them in the fridge, but bring back to room temperature before serving.

Time 20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups large green olives with pits, such as Cerignola (11 ounces)
2 cups large black olives with pits, such as Kalamata (11 ounces)
Zest of 1 orange, peeled in large strips
4 large garlic cloves, smashed
2 teaspoons whole fennel seeds
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup good olive oil
4 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Drain the green and black olives from the brine or oil that they're packed in and place them in a medium bowl. Add the orange zest, garlic, fennel seeds, thyme leaves, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pour the olive oil over the mixture, add the thyme sprigs and toss to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture, including the olive oil, to a medium (10-inch) sauté pan. Heat over medium heat until the oil begins to sizzle. Lower the heat and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the olives and garlic are heated through and fragrant. Serve warm right from the pan or transfer to a serving dish. Offer a small dish for the pits.
