When you make this, do you rinse or blanch the brine off first, or no?

this sounds like perfect snacking food too!

So, I guess the ones at the A&P olive cart are already marinated?
I love olives too, have served them in dinner the last couple of nights, they are really tasty. I should try marinating them myself one time. The Magwood book sounds really good!

hmm i love olices especially in foccacia and pizza or tapenade yum yum Nice recipe this . Never thought of making them with oranges

I love olives, but prefer the green ones! Anyhow, that recipe sounds and looks really good! Lovely!

Cheers,

You know, I’ve never been a fan of olives; but now I think I should reconsider that!!

Those are great to have around the house specially during the Holiday Season when guests come over. I usualy make them with the orange peel, never tried this way. Looks yummy!

I love olives, but have never marinated them myself. These sound delicious.

This is so great! It takes something that everyone I know loves and makes it extra special. So, do you really recommend that cookbook? I don’t have anything like it in my collection…

My husband doesn’t like olives, that’s who…shocking. But I love them! These look really flavorful.

My mother-in-law serves the most amazing olives, they’re really large and amazingly tender and we all over indulge when she puts them on the table. When we go to Abruzzo, I always try to bring some back home with us! We never marinate them because I can’t keep my boys off them long enough. Seriously, I tried to get them ready to marinate once, then the phone rang and when I got back to the kitchen they had eaten more than half of them. So I gave up!

Wonderful idea! I’m quite obsessed w/ olives too. But I don’t ever think about doing much with them besides nibbling!

Um. I don’t like olives. I have never liked olives. I really really want to like olives. I like olive oil. And I will add them to dishes if they are cut into tiny little pieces so they almost melt into the food because I know that they add a certain something that would be missing without them. But although I admire how pretty this dish is, good luck getting me to stomach a whole olive.
I had no idea I was so in the minority!

Any dish that includes olives is all right by me. This is the kind of recipe I love: easy, relatively inexpensive, and yet an interesting twist on a favorite food. Thanks, Ivonne, for posting this!

i LOVE olives!!! i definitely will make these for our boxing day party. yum.

I agree how could you not love the olive? These sound delicious.

You’d be surprised with my co workers. Almost everyone picks out olives in their sandwiches and salads — only to drown it in olive oil. Doesn’t make sense to me.

What an idea! Since I’ve been blogging I’ve discovered this kind of thing is so worth doing. Store bought maybe good but things like this done at home always surpass the stores.
Love the photo.
Like Lydia do you rinse or leave brine on?

Actually you do know someone who doesn’t like to eat olives - me. Sorry.

Olive oil, however, is a staple I would not be without.

Now why don’t I ever think about doing something like this?

I love olives but never think to make them into anything than what they are when they come off the olive bar.

I just book marked this recipe for my New Years party.

I am a late bloomer when it comes to Olives. It wasn’t until I met one of my best friends 2 years ago that I really began my olive exposure and discovery, but I have a really hard time picking olives, sometimes I pick a good one and sometimes I find ones so salty or so…I don’t know how to describe it…How do you pick a good olive? And what are some favourites?

i do love olives, but now i might just love them more now!
