MARINATED Tunisian-Style OLIVES

10 OZ Jar - Morocco

Marinated olives have always been an integral part of Moroccan cuisine; they are usually eaten at every meal including breakfast. Every city and village has its own special, often secret, preparation. The markets of Fez and Marrakech have numerous stalls where olive vendors sell many different kinds of marinated olives delectably displayed in large mounds. They range in flavor from savory to sweet and pungent to aromatic.

These delicious green olives have been marinated in a typical Tunisian preparation of hot red pepper, bay leaf, lemon and salt. They open with a smooth savory flavor of green olive and quickly move to a spicy harissa finish.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve them alone to start a meal or as part of an evening of Tapas and Cava.
