Recipes from Episode 3:

Roasted Black Olives

Hosting a dinner party? Need a quick appetizer to nosh on while guests are arriving? I love to pair a rich Cabernet Sauvignon with an equally rich and meaty black, vacuum-packed Gemlik Turkish Olives. They are medium-sized olives with a high oil content. If you can’t find Gemlik, look for oil-cured black olives in your local deli or supermarket.  They are wonderful in salads, but even better in the below recipe on a chilly winter night. 

  • 1 pack of Gemlik Turkish Olives
  • 1 bulb of garlic, skins off and separated
  • 1 pack of cherry tomatoes
  • Thyme & rosemary
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Preheat the oven to 400 F. In a shallow roasting pan, toss all ingredients above and a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking. Place in the middle rack. Check on the olives and stir periodically for about 15-20 minutes, until garlic is golden and tomatoes are wilted. Serve warm.
