Olive Spread For Latkes Recipes

OLIVE SPREAD

Steps:

• Put all ingredients, except olive oil in the food processor and pulse until chopped.
• Turn processor on low setting and gradually add olive oil until you get a grainy texture.
• I stop and start and scrape down the sides as I am going.
• I try to add as little oil as possible, but enough to hold the mixture together so it will spread nicely.
• Serve with slices of grainy baguette.
• This is wonderful and easy.

THREE OLIVE SPREAD

Steps:

• Combine the black olives, green olives, kalamata olives, and garlic in the container of a food processor. Pulse to chop, then add balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Process until smooth. Refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight if possible, before serving.

OLIVE LATKES

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, heat one-fourth cup of oil and sauté the onion and garlic till golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cumin. Beat in the eggs and onion and garlic mixture with a fork. Stir in the olives and add water, as needed, if the mixture seems too thick.
• Heat one-fourth cup of the remaining oil in the pan and use a small cup or soup ladle to form 3 to 4 latkes. Fry on both sides till golden. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding additional oil as needed for frying. Transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with thick yogurt or sour cream.

OLIVE SANDWICH SPREAD
