Another recipe


Here's a recipe that uses Sofia's Selection Black olives
 
Black Olive Pate
Ingredients
·         1 pound (about 4 jars) large Sofia’s Selection Black olives (pitted)
·         1 large head garlic (about 2 to 3 ounces)
·         Olive oil
·         1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
·         Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
·         Spread the olives out on several thickness of paper toweling, top with several more thicknesses of paper toweling, then roll up tight, and set aside
·         Slice off the top part of the head of garlic, exposing the cloves. Drizzle the head with olive oil. Wrap the whole head of garlic in a double thickness of aluminum foil, and then twist each loose end into a gooseneck sealing in the garlic. Place in the oven and roast until the garlic is very tender, about 1 hour; remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Take out all cloves of garlic and put into a blender or food processor fitted with a metal chopping blade; add the olives and pepper, and puree by buzzing 15 seconds nonstop. Scrape down the sides of the blender or work bowl with a rubber spatula, buzz for another 15 seconds, then scoop all into a small bowl, and cover tightly. Store in a refrigerator until about 30 minutes before serving.
·         Serve as a cocktail spread on crisp crackers.
