Categories     Olive     Bake     Vegetarian     Dinner

Yield 2 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups Kalamata olives
1/2 cup dry red or white wine
3 T. olive oil
3 garlic cloves, 1 sliced, 2 coarsely chopped
1 bay leaf
2 T. marjoram or 1 tsp dried oregano
1 T. chopped parsley
Freshly milled pepper
Several pinches red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Rinse the olives if salty and put them in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add the wine, half the oil, the sliced garlic, and the bay leaf. Cover and bake until they're fragrant and swollen, about 45 mins. Meanwhile, pound the chopped garlic in a mortar with the marjoram, parsley, and a few grinds of pepper. When the olives come out of the oven, poke each one with a fok or the tip of a knife, then stir in the garlic-herb paste, the remaining oil, and the red-pepper flakes. These can be served immediately or let sit for several hours for the flavors to develop.
