BLACK OLIVE BREAD SPREAD

A lovely little spread that's easy to prepare, inspired by an Italian restaurant I frequent. This is my own creation; it goes best with fresh, soft Italian bread! Serve as a side, appetizer or hors d'oeuvre.

Provided by Brighid Kitten

Categories     Spreads

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (6 ounce) can pitted black olives
1 1/2 fluid ounces extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Using a can opener, open the can of pitted olives partway. Holding the cover shut to keep the olives inside, drain all of the liquid into a sink. Remove the cover (or pull it back, but don't use your fingers) and empty the olives out into a bowl.
  • You can skip this step if you want and just go to the next one; it's up to you. Anyway, on a plate or cutting board, begin cutting the olives into small slivers (they will make an "O" shape if you cut them properly). You will want to cut every olive in the can - this may take a little while! Each olive should make 3 or 4 slivers.
  • Once you're done cutting all the olives, return them to the bowl. Using a dough blender, push down hard on the olives in the bowl to break them up into smaller bits. If you don't have a dough blender, you can use a large fork and press the prongs down against the olives instead. Don't pulverize the olives; you'll still want some pieces with a "C" shape.
  • Now, add the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and stir the mixture thoroughly, so the oil covers most of the olives.
  • Once the olives and oil are mixed, add the oregano, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly so as the spices are evenly dispersed.
  • You're done! Chill the mixture if you wish (it can last a while), or spoon on to freshly cut Italian bread and enjoy!

GARLIC & BLACK OLIVE SHARING BREAD



Garlic & black olive sharing bread image

Gather friends round for a feast and serve this tear 'n' share bread flavoured with garlic and black olives. It can be made up to three days ahead

Provided by Melissa Thompson - Journalist and food writer

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

300ml whole milk
140g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2 tsp caster sugar
4 garlic cloves, crushed
500g strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
140g black olives, pitted and finely chopped (Kalamata work well)
vegetable oil, for proving

Steps:

  • Warm 80ml of the milk in a small pan over a low heat or in the microwave and add 1 tbsp sea salt. Stir to dissolve and set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt half the butter in 200ml of the milk in a saucepan set over a medium heat, along with the sugar and half the garlic. Leave to cool until lukewarm.
  • Tip the flour and yeast into the large bowl of a stand mixer and mix together using the dough hook attachment. Gradually work in the melted butter and milk mixture. Once the dough begins to come together, add the salted milk, parsley and half the olives. Keep mixing for 6 mins using the dough hook, or turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 10 mins.
  • Oil the bowl, add the dough, then rub oil over the top. Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for at least 1 hr or until doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a small saucepan over a low heat, and add the remaining crushed garlic and remaining olives. Warm the garlic and olives through for a few minutes, then leave to cool.
  • Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently punch it back. Divide it into seven pieces, between 130-140g each, and roll them into tight balls, tucking the edges underneath so the balls are perfectly smooth with the seams on the underside. Arrange in a 20-23cm round cake tin lined with baking parchment, ensuring the dough balls are equally spaced around the edge with one in the middle. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise until roughly doubled in size again, about 20-30 mins.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the dough with the garlic butter, avoiding the olives. Bake in the oven for 30-35 mins until golden brown on top and cooked through. Pour over the remaining garlic butter along with the olives. Will keep for up to three days in an airtight container.

Here's a different take on garlic/cheese bread for lovers of black olives. This is a recipe I've tweaked from one I found in a Junior League cookbook.

Categories     Breads

Time 25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Combine butter and mayonnaise and stir until well combined; stir in the grated cheeses, chives, black olives, garlic salt and pepper.

  • Spread one side of each slice of bread thickly with butter mixture; lay the slices spread side up on a cookie sheet and slide under the broiler until the edges are brown, watching carefully to as not to burn the bread.

Tips:

  • Soften the butter to room temperature before using to ensure a smooth and spreadable consistency.

  • If you want a more herbaceous flavor, add a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, to the butter.
  • Black olive butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
