Categories     appetizer

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups raw olives
Water
1 tablespoon salt
8 cloves garlic (separated but not peeled or crushed)
Handful fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
Handful wild fennel, flowers included, optional

Steps:

  • Crack the raw olives with a hammer or rolling pin against a wooden chopping board and place in a large bowl or bucket. Soak the olives in water to cover for at least 1 week. Make sure you change the water everyday. This is to remove the bitterness of the olives. Once the olives have soaked for a week, strain the water and add clean fresh water to the bowl. Add the salt, garlic cloves, thyme, bay leaves and optional wild fennel. Mix well. Place all the solid ingredients (herbs and olives) into an airtight glass or ceramic jar. Pour in enough of the salted water to cover the olives. Close the jar and ensure it is airtight. Store in a cool dry place for at least 2 weeks before eating your first olive. Serve with drinks.

LEFTOVER VEGETABLES MARINATED WITH GARLIC AND THYME



Leftover Vegetables Marinated With Garlic and Thyme image

A way to use up leftover cooked vegetables--you can use one vegetable or a mixture. The marinade has three of my favorite flavors: thyme, garlic and hot pepper sauce. I like to use a hot pepper sauce that is reasonably hot, but not so hot that the pepper taste gets lost in the sheer hotness of it. Since I don't use a lot of salt myself, I make sure to serve with salt and pepper so others can adjust these seasonings to their taste. Preparation time does not include marinating time. I like them best made a day ahead and marinated overnight, but you could probably get away with a much shorter time than that.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 cups cooked leftover vegetables, of your choice
1 lb cherry tomatoes or 1 lb grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • If any of the vegetables were originally cooked with butter or other seasonings, quickly (about 30 sec) immerse them in boiling water and remove; you'll have to do this in batches. I use a common fold-up metal vegetable steamer for this but with enough water heated in the pan to cover the veggies; you could also just use a strainer if you have one the right size.
  • Immediately dip vegetables into cold water to stop from over-cooking, then pat dry.
  • Whisk 2 Tbs water with the vinegar thru salt to combine.
  • Whisk in oil in a slow steady stream.
  • Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
  • Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To ensure the vegetables marinate evenly, cut them into uniform-sized pieces.
  • When choosing vegetables, opt for firm and crisp ones to ensure they retain their texture during marination.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique marinade flavors. Some popular options include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and lemon.
  • If you're short on time, you can marinate the vegetables for a shorter duration, but keep in mind that longer marinating times (ideally overnight) yield more flavorful results.
  • Use a non-reactive bowl or container for marinating, such as glass, ceramic, or stainless steel, to prevent any chemical reactions that could alter the taste or quality of the vegetables.
  • Before serving, drain the vegetables from the marinade and pat them dry to remove excess liquid.
