MARINATED MOROCCAN OLIVES

Olives are abundant in Moroccan cuisine; often times they are marinated in olive oil and lemon, or in a Moroccan hot sauce called "harissa" (which is made from red chilis, garlic, coriander and cumin). For my olives, I am combining the best of both worlds by marinating the olives in lemon and olive oil, plus some of the seasonings found in harissa.

MOROCCAN SPICED OLIVES

An easy marinade of garlic, lemon, thyme, and a dollop of the North African hot sauce harissa make these green olives memorable. If you can, prepare the olives ahead-they improve with age. From Epicurious. Cooking time does not include the 24 hour marinating period.

Time 25m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups green olives in brine, lightly smashed to crack open slightly (use picholine or cerignola if possible)
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil, extra virgin
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons harissa (North African spice paste)
3 fresh thyme sprigs (4-5 inches long)
2 thin lemon slices

Steps:

  • Cover olives with water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, then drain.
  • Cook garlic in oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in water, harissa, thyme, and olives and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until liquid is thickened and coats olives, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon slices. Transfer to a shallow dish and marinate, chilled, at least 24 hours.
  • These will keep for 1 month if kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
