1 c Olives purchased from deli -(green
-or Middle Eastern grocery
Yield: 1 cup
Olives are often served as part of the Middle Eastern appetizer assortment
called mezze or mazza that is brought to your table with your wine, ouzo,
or arak. Anything can turn up as part of a mezze selection: octopus
dressed in olive oil and lemon, chunks of feta cheese or salami on small
pieces of bread, or a plate of creamy, tart hummus. Olives, brined,
salted, or marinated, are almost always on one of the little plates.
Middle Eastern marketplaces feature huge vats and crocks of differently
spiced olives in myriad array. Some are fleshy, some juicy, others bitter
and dense, and each is in a subtly different mainade. The marinade in this
recipe is good for almost any type of olive; it is especially delicious
with green brined olives or fleshy Greek-style ones (it even improves
California-style ripe Olives).
