Olive Puree

"Here's a simple olive tapenade you can use as a dip at your next party. The UK chef Heston Blumenthal also recommends mixing it into a risotto or pasta dish, or as an accompaniment to meat such as duck or chicken. I find this serves two as a snack."

  1. My daughter Adiya (Didi of Cheerio fame) loves to eat cottage cheese and black olive sandwiches (it's an Israeli thing, very popular sandwich here). Unfortunately, she doesn't like the packaged olive and cottage cheese, she likes me to sit there slicing up black olives into rings to mix into her cottage cheese. She likes when I mix in olive spread, but the commercial stuff is so full of preservatives and too salty for her. This olive puree saved the day! Pure and simple, especially if you buy pitted olives. I just spread a layer of this on bread, add cottage cheese and Didi's got her favorite sandwich! Another Dornette likes a litte spread on top of her pizza. I usually triple the recipe and keep it in the fridge, lasts about a week and my kids are happy! Thanks Friedel, this one really saved my life!

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
