Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed
3/4 cup pitted and smashed brined green olives (such as Lucques)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons orange zest

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves (about 10 ounces)

  • Heat a large ovenproof 12-inch frying pan over medium heat. Rub chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the pan, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip chicken over with tongs and put it in the oven to finish cooking.

WARM OLIVES WITH FENNEL AND ORANGE



Warm Olives with Fennel and Orange image

These smoky flavored olives are always the first thing to disappear off an antipasti platter or hors d'oeuvres spread. The brightness of the orange zest enhances the earthy flavors of the olives; you can use freshly squeezed orange juice if you don't have zest. I love to serve these straight from the oven, still warm.

Yield makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup picholine olives with pits
1 cup niçoise olives with pits
1/2 cup oil-cured black olives with pits
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, bruised
Strips of orange zest from 1 orange
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot fire (400°F) in a wood-fired oven, cooker, or grill.
  • Soak the picholine and niçoise olives in water to cover for 10 minutes, then drain. Combine the drained olives, oil-cured olives, oil, thyme, garlic, fennel seeds, and orange zest in a baking dish and roast uncovered until the garlic is fragrant and the olives are hot, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the vinegar. Toss to combine. Let cool slightly, then serve warm. To store, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 month. The flavor gets better with time. Rewarm to serve.

MARINATED OLIVES WITH OREGANO AND FENNEL SEEDS



Marinated Olives with Oregano and Fennel Seeds image

These Marinated Olives with Oregano and Fennel Seeds can be prepared three days ahead and refrigerated, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving as an appetizer or snack.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 pounds assorted brine-cured olives (3 cups), such as Alfonso, Gaeta, and Sicilian rinsed and drained well
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Stir together olives, oil, fennel seeds, oregano, and garlic in a medium bowl. Cover, and let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the right olives: For this recipe, it's best to use firm and meaty olives, such as Kalamata or Castelvetrano olives.
  • Use fresh fennel seeds: Fresh fennel seeds have a more intense flavor than dried seeds. If you can't find fresh fennel seeds, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried fennel seeds.
  • Don't overcrowd the jar: The olives should be able to move around freely in the jar. If the jar is too crowded, the olives will not be properly flavored.
  • Store the olives in a cool, dark place: The olives will keep for up to 6 months in a cool, dark place.

Conclusion:

These olives with fennel seeds and orange are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they also make a great gift. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and unique olive that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give this recipe a try!
