Green Olive Sauce (With Pasta, Fish or Omelet) image

This sauce is really savory and different. It was originally from 101 cookbooks, where she suggested serving it over toasted gnocchi. However, I think it would be wonderful over fish and in an omelet as well (or wherever else you can think to put it!).

Time 15m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 large yellow onion, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
scant 3/4 cup vegetable broth
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 2/3 cups green olives, pitted and finely chopped (I used the kind with pimentos)
fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the garlic and onion in the 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, until softened, a few minutes.
  • Add the both and cream and bring to a simmer.
  • Remove from heat, add the olives and let cool for a couple minutes. Taste and add a bit of fresh lemon juice if you like, as well as black pepper and/or red pepper flakes.
  • You can keep this as is, or for a more sauce like consistency, feel free to blend/puree.

The sauce was a bit too bland for me. I would have liked it to have more of a kick.

This sauce is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt if you're making it yourself.

I'm not a fan of anchovies, but I didn't find them overpowering in this sauce. They add a nice depth of flavor without being too fishy.

I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I really enjoyed this sauce. The olives are blended into a smooth puree, so they don't have that overpowering olive flavor. The sauce is light and refreshing, and it's perfect for summer meals.
