There is a lovely little French cafe I have been to that serves the best olives on the table. The secret is in the marinade. Instead of purchasing seasoned olives from your local olive bar, try seasoning them yourself. You'll be very pleased with the outcome. Also makes a lovely gift. Ingredients:
8 ounces oil-cured black olives |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 garlic clove, cut into thin slivers |
2 slices orange peel (about 2x1/2-inch) |
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves |
1 pinch fennel seed |
fresh ground pepper (to taste) |
1 sprig fresh thyme (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Toss olives with oil in mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients except thyme sprigs and toss to combine. Transfer to crock or serving bowl and let stand, tossing occasionally, until ready to serve. Garnish with thyme sprigs just before serving.
