Roasted Olives And Clementines With Rosemary And Chiles Recipes

MARINATED OLIVES WITH ROSEMARY, RED CHILI, ORANGE AND PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Combine garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, orange slices, red chili flakes, paprika, and extra- virgin olive oil in a saucepan and set over low heat. Slowly warm up to infuse the oil and soften the garlic - do not let it fry. Once hot, about 5 minutes, pour in olives and steep until cool. Serve at room temperature.

SPICY ROASTED OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a small roasting pan, mix together the olives, rosemary, chile, and garlic. Slice the tangerines in half and squeeze the juice over the olives; toss in the rinds. Pour over the olive oil and vinegar and give it a good stir. Cover with foil and bake for about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED OLIVES WITH ORANGE AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grate the zest of one orange, remove the zest of the second orange with a vegetable peeler, and then juice both oranges. In a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish, toss together the olives, olive oil, 2 sprigs rosemary, the thyme, the zest removed with a peeler, orange juice, garlic, and 1 pinch crushed red pepper. Bake, tossing every 10 minutes, until the olives are slightly shriveled and the juices have reduced to a glaze, about 30 minutes.
• While the olives are still hot, break the remaining sprig of rosemary over the top. Sprinkle with the finely grated orange zest, the fennel powder, and one more pinch crushed red pepper. Toss, and serve while still hot.

ROASTED OLIVES AND CLEMENTINES WITH ROSEMARY AND CHILES

Steps:

• Coarsely crush chiles with back of knife. Place in medium bowl. Add rosemary, all olives, and 1/4 cup olive oil. Using vegetable peeler, remove peel of 1 clementine in strips. Using sharp knife, scrape off any pith from strips. Mix peel into olives. Cut peeled clementine in half. Squeeze clementine juice over. Cover and let marinate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, stirring occasionally. Preheat oven to 475°F. Transfer olive mixture to ovenproof dish. Cut remaining 3 clementines crosswise in half and mix into olives. Drizzle remaining 1/4 cup olive oil over. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Roast until heated through and flavors blend, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 5 to 10 minutes. Squeeze juice of roasted clementines over olives. Serve warm with crusty bread.
