Lucca Style Roasted Olives Recipes

LINDSAY ROASTED OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. Transfer mixture to a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the tomatoes have shriveled and browned lightly. Cool on the pan. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Serve at room temperature with toasted baguette slices or crackers.

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.
