Warm Olives With Rosemary Garlic And Lemon 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:

• Heat oven to 400°F. On large sheet of foil, place olives, rosemary, pepper flakes and grated lemon peel; drizzle with oil. Fold foil over olive mixture; pinch edges tightly to seal.
• Bake 30 minutes. Transfer mixture to serving dish. Garnish with lemon twists. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, vinegar, bay leaves and garlic in a small saucepan and heat just until warm over low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon rind, thyme, rosemary and fennel seeds.
• Place the olives in a wide mouthed jar and pour in the olive oil mixture. Shake the jar to coat the olives. Refrigerate for two hours or for up to two weeks. Shake the jar a few times a day to redistribute the seasonings.

Steps:

• Heat oil, chiles, rosemary, and fennel and coriander seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add olives; stir to coat. Heat mixture, stirring occasionally, until warmed, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
