Spiced Green Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Drain the green and black olives from the brine or oil that they're packed in and place them in a medium bowl. Add the orange zest, garlic, fennel seeds, thyme leaves, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pour the olive oil over the mixture, add the thyme sprigs and toss to combine.
• Transfer the mixture, including the olive oil, to a medium (10-inch) sauté pan. Heat over medium heat until the oil begins to sizzle. Lower the heat and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the olives and garlic are heated through and fragrant. Serve warm right from the pan or transfer to a serving dish. Offer a small dish for the pits.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a small roasting pan, mix together the olives, rosemary, chile, and garlic. Slice the tangerines in half and squeeze the juice over the olives; toss in the rinds. Pour over the olive oil and vinegar and give it a good stir. Cover with foil and bake for about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Put the olive oil, garlic, red pepper, herbs, and citrus zests in a medium skillet. Heat over medium-high heat, swirling the pan until the mixture is fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the olives, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden and the zest begins to curl, about 5 minutes more. Discard and remove bay leaves, if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Toast fennel seeds in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add lemon zest, bay leaves, olives, oil, and Aleppo pepper and cook, stirring, until just warmed through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.

Steps:

• Drain olives, discarding juice; return olives to the jar. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over olives; cover and refrigerate for 3-10 days, turning jar daily. Drain before serving.

Steps:

• Heat first 8 ingredients in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add olives; toss to coat.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container for at least 4 hours or up to 3 weeks. The longer they marinate, the better they taste.
• Drain and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat up a dry heavy based frying pan over a medium heat and add the coriander seeds. Toss them around briefly until they start to release their fragrance. Remove them and put to one side.
• Mix all the other ingredients together, and then add the toasted coriander seeds and mix again.
• Store them in a covered jar or container for 24 hours before serving, to allow to flavours to infuse.
• Bring them to room temperature if they have been stored in a very cool or cold area - as the olive oil may have congealed.
• Serve with toasted pitta bread, cocktail bread or mini toasts, bread, cocktails, aperitifs or assorted Hors D'oeuvres.
• These can be made up to 3 days in advance.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except oil in a clean jar-shake gently, top with olive oil, shake again and store in the fridge for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• In a 2-cup decorative jar make layer of 1/2 cup of the olives, top it with 3 slices of the lemon, and sprinkle the lemon with a third of the coriander seeds and a third of the peppercorns. Make 2 more layers in the same manner, pour the oil into the jar, and chill the olives for 2 weeks. The olives keep for several months, chilled. Serve the olives at room temperature as an hors d'oeuvre or as a garnish for salads.
