From Michael Chiarello, a great addition to an hors d'oeuvre/cocktail party spread. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
6 garlic cloves, large, unpeeled, lightly crushed |
5 -6 sprigs fresh thyme |
1 pint oil-cured black olive (about 2 cups) |
1/2 pint nicoise olive (or arbequina, about one cup) |
4 slices orange zest |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
2. Cook the olive oil and garlic cloves in an ovenproof skillet over moderate heat until the cloves begin to sizzle and caramelize lightly.
3. Add the thyme sprigs and let them sizzle in the oil for about 30 seconds. Add the olives and stir until they are hot throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Add the orange zest.
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake, stirring occasionally, until the olives start to soften, 5 to 8 minutes.
6. Serve warm.
