Description
CRACKED GREEN OLIVES WITH HERBS AND PRESERVED LEMON
Ingredients
- 1 pound small to medium brine-cured green olives (preferably cracked)*
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
- peel of 1/2 preserved lemon, cut into julienne strips, plus 3 tablespoons preserved lemon juice to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- a pinch dried red hot pepper flakes
Directions
If using uncracked whole olives, crush lightly with flat side of large knife on a cutting board. In a large bowl cover olives with cold water and soak 4 hours to remove excess salt. Drain olives well. In a bowl stir together olives and remaining ingredients and marinate, covered and chilled, at least 6 hours or overnight. Olives may be prepared 1 week ahead and kept chilled, covered.
Serve olives at room temperature.
Makes about 3 cups.
