Black Olives

Spaghetti with olives

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients for 4 servings::
400 grams spaghetti
100 grams black olives
700 grams ripe, peeled and seeded tomatoes (or a _ kg can of peeled tomatoes)
80 grams extra virgin olive oil
4 desalted anchovies
One tablespoon salted capers
Two teaspoons tomato paste
One garlic clove cut into small pieces
One fresh red pepper cut into small pieces (or a pinch of pepper powder)
Salt

Preparation

Cut the tomatoes into pieces, wash and debone the anchovies, repeatedly wash the capers. Place on the stove a pot with oil, garlic and pepper. As soon as the garlic starts to brown, add the anchovies and mix with a wooden spoon until they are completely melted, then add the tomatoes, olives, capers and the tomato paste. Mix well and allow to cook over very low heat for about 15 minutes, until the sauce becomes rather thick and dark-coloured.

Put abundant water in a pan with a bit of salt, keeping in mind that the sauce is very spicy. Bring to a boil, put in the spaghetti and cook them "al dente". Drain them, dress with the sauce and serve immediately.

You can use Spanish black olives too, but remember that they are slightly spicy, or aromatic olives.

Enjoy!



Marinated Greek olives

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Marinating time: 2 hours

Ingredients for 4 servings:
One kg large Greek black olives
Three tablespoons chopped parsley
4 laurel leaves
Two sprigs of rosemary (only chopped leaves)
12 slices of lemon
Two cups (or more) of vinegar, preferably aromatic

Preparation

Choose large black olives, making sure they are perfectly blemish-free. Open them in half and remove the stone, then scald them quickly in boiling unsalted water. Drain them, and then immerse them again in warm water, leaving them there for about two hours until they have almost completely lost their sour flavour.

Drain them, making very sure not to break them, and let them drip. Place them on a cloth to dry them and then into jars in layers alternated with the spices and lemon slices. Finally, add the vinegar, possibly aromatic, until the contents are covered.

Seal the jars and store them in a cool and dry place for 2-3 weeks, after which the olives are ready to be eaten.

Enjoy!
