Categories     Food & Cooking

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lemons
1 tablespoon minced shallots
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup mixed olives, pitted and chopped
1 teaspoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the top and bottom of both lemons with a paring knife. Set one of the flat sides on your work surface. From top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, cut away peel and white pith. Trim off any remaining pith. Holding the lemon over a bowl, cut along both sides of each segment, staying close to the membrane, to release.
  • Whisk together shallots, vinegar, and honey in a medium bowl. Coarsely chop lemon segments and add to the bowl with the shallot mixture, along with any lemon juice that has accumulated in the bowl. Stir in olives, capers, chives, and parsley; season with salt and pepper.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 medium onion, unpeeled, halved
1/2 head garlic (halved crosswise)
1 lemongrass stalk, trimmed, tough outer layers removed, finely chopped
4 sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
4 cups low-fat milk
1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4 large), scrubbed
Flaky grey sea salt or kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds skinless cod fillet, cut into 2" pieces
1/2 preserved lemon, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped chives (from about 1 large bunch)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon hot smoked Spanish paprika

Steps:

  • Bring onion, garlic, lemongrass, thyme, peppercorns, and milk to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes. Strain infused milk into a medium saucepan. Discard solids.
  • Meanwhile, cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 25-30 minutes. Drain, then peel potatoes and coarsely mash in a large bowl with 1/4 cup oil; season with salt.
  • Bring infused milk just to a boil. Add cod, reduce heat, and simmer until flesh begins to flake and is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove cod with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
  • Combine preserved lemon, chives, lemon juice, paprika, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a small bowl; season relish with salt.
  • Mix 1/4 cup infused milk into potatoes. Place cod over potatoes; spoon relish over.
  • DO AHEAD: Relish can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful olives. The quality of your olives will greatly impact the taste of your relish. Look for olives that are plump and have a deep, rich color.
  • Use a variety of olives. Combining different types of olives will add complexity and depth of flavor to your relish. Try using a mix of black, green, and Kalamata olives.
  • Preserve your own lemons. Preserved lemons are a key ingredient in this relish, and they're easy to make at home. Simply combine lemons, salt, and water in a jar and let them sit for a few weeks.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and mint, will brighten up the flavor of your relish. Add them just before serving.
  • Taste your relish and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.

Conclusion:

Black olive and preserved lemon relish is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for adding a salty, tangy flavor to grilled meats, fish, and vegetables. You can also use it as a topping for salads, sandwiches, and wraps. No matter how you choose to use it, this relish is sure to add a delicious burst of flavor to your meals.
