WARM OLIVES WITH FENNEL AND ORANGE

These smoky flavored olives are always the first thing to disappear off an antipasti platter or hors d'oeuvres spread. The brightness of the orange zest enhances the earthy flavors of the olives; you can use freshly squeezed orange juice if you don't have zest. I love to serve these straight from the oven, still warm.

Yield makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup picholine olives with pits
1 cup niçoise olives with pits
1/2 cup oil-cured black olives with pits
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, bruised
Strips of orange zest from 1 orange
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot fire (400°F) in a wood-fired oven, cooker, or grill.
  • Soak the picholine and niçoise olives in water to cover for 10 minutes, then drain. Combine the drained olives, oil-cured olives, oil, thyme, garlic, fennel seeds, and orange zest in a baking dish and roast uncovered until the garlic is fragrant and the olives are hot, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the vinegar. Toss to combine. Let cool slightly, then serve warm. To store, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 month. The flavor gets better with time. Rewarm to serve.
