MOROCCAN SPICED OLIVES



Moroccan Spiced Olives image

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.

Yield 2 cups

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)

  • 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.

MARINATED GREEN OLIVES - CHAKISTES KIBRISLI STYLE



Marinated Green Olives - Chakistes Kibrisli Style image

My parents were taught as a child in Cyprus how to prepare their own olives, it's a long process but this is worth it. The raw green olives are split in half with a special stone but seed still intact, this allow the brine (salty water) to soak into the olives. The olives are then jarred with the brine and stored away for months. This recipe is not that process but it's the way it's marinated for Mezze's. Measurements are for personal preference only, you could use less lemon if you don't prefer it to be tangy. Enjoy

MARINATED MOROCCAN OLIVES



Marinated Moroccan Olives image

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.
