Sauteed Black Olives With Tomatoes Recipes

RICE WITH TOMATOES AND BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• Combine rice and 2 cups of water in heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to boil; reduce heat and cook a total of 17 minutes, until rice is tender and water has evaporated.
• Meanwhile chop the whole onion; sauté onion in hot oil in nonstick skillet.
• Pit and cut up olives; wash, trim and coarsely chop tomatoes. When onion is tender add the olives and tomatoes and cook over high heat to evaporate liquid.
• Wash, dry and chop basil to make 2 tablespoons. Just before adding tomato mixture to rice, stir in basil. Add mixture to cooked rice and season with optional salt and with pepper.

SAUTEED BLACK OLIVES WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Rinse and drain olives; you can pit them or not, whichever you prefer. Combine tomatoes and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a medium skillet, add garlic, and cook over medium-low heat until just starting to brown, 2 to 5 minutes.
• Add olives and thyme. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, cook over medium heat until juices thicken a bit and flavors are combined, 5 to 8 minutes. Season to taste with pepper. Serve this colorful antipasto with chunks of crusty bread. Just before serving, stir in the parsley.

5 INGREDIENT SAUTEED CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI RABE WITH BLACK OLIVES, SUNDRIED TOMATOES AND FETA

Steps:

• Heat the oil from sun-dried tomatoes in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Add tomatoes, broccoli rabe, olives, and 1/4 cup water, season with salt and pepper, cover and cook 3 minutes, until broccoli rabe wilts and chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving plate and top with feta cheese. Usually served with capellini pasta or rice.

POTATO AND OLIVE STEW WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large, heavy and deep non-reactive skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat and saute the potatoes until they turn a golden brown on all sides, about five minutes. They don't need to cook through because they will continue cooking in the sauce.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove potatoes from skillet and add onions, saute until transparent, about three minutes, then add the garlic and chili pepper. After a few seconds, pour in the wine and add the oregano, tomatoes and olives. Cook for one minute, then remove from heat.
• Place potatoes in clay or glass ovenproof pan that can hold them in one layer. Pour sauce over them and bake uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes -- adding a little water if needed -- or until the potatoes are tender. Taste after 15 minutes and add salt if needed -- the olives are quite salty -- or more chili pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve while still hot.

SAUTéED SHRIMP WITH CAPERS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Put 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
• Add 3 sliced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons capers and 1/2 cup chopped pitted black olives, and cook until the garlic is golden.
• Stir in 1 1/2 pounds peeled shrimp and 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes.
• Cook, turning the shrimp once or twice, until they are pink, 5 to 10 minutes.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH OLIVES AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a shallow baking dish combine two tablespoons of the olive oil with half the garlic, the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken breasts, turning them in the dish so they are coated with the marinade. Arrange them in a single layer in the dish, cover with plastic wrap and allow them to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat the remaining oil in a skillet. Add onion and remaining garlic and saute until tender but not brown. Add tomatoes and olives and allow to cook about 15 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken. Stir in half the parsley and the thyme and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spread the tomato mixture over the marinated chicken breasts. Place in oven and bake about 20 minutes, until the chicken is done. Remove from oven and baste to combine juices in bottom of the pan with the tomato mixture on top. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.
