The reason why I add a little bit of salt is because it gets lost in the soak.<br />These olives are oven roasted, so much of the brine has evaporated anyway.<br />They are soooo yummy.<br /><br />Ciao Carlo!Eleonora Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746184664869196394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-19245252465142355262010-04-04T17:59:56.443+02:002010-04-04T17:59:56.443+02:00Lola, I presume you soak the olives in water to re...Lola, I presume you soak the olives in water to remove the salty brine?

This is the first marinated olive recipe I'm posting, but if you stick around there may be more coming!<br />Turks use fantastic spices like pink pepper, maras pul biber, urfa isot, turkish mint... Unique cooking spices that lend that middle eastern flavor. EVOO rocks!Eleonora Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746184664869196394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-15018078477198771942010-04-02T16:23:48.388+02:002010-04-02T16:23:48.388+02:00our family has a huge olive addiction - even our l...our family has a huge olive addiction - even our little guys.

Presumably this method just gives a whisper of taste without the burning hit of biting into a piece of raw garlic.<br /><br />I too have a mobile veg man who comes round every day except Sundays. Like you, I don't really go by a list, but by what looks good that day. I currently have crisp savoy cabbage, crunchy orange carrots, deliciously bitter cime di rape and sweeter-than-sweet cherry tomatoes. Oh, and an aubergine, all ready to make into aubergine crumble.
