Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 heads garlic, cloves separated and peeled
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

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.

ORANGE AND FENNEL MARINATED OLIVES



Orange and Fennel Marinated Olives image

As much as I love to eat crunchy snacks, I also really enjoy the juicy savory bite of olives. But I temper their saltiness with the anise aroma of fennel, the sweetness of orange, and a little heat. Over the years, we've been able to get an increasing variety of olives-even in our local markets. I like combining different Mediterranean varieties and always buy them unpitted.

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup large green brine-cured olives, preferably Sevillano and Castelvetrano
1/2 cup kalamata olives
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/8 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
2 (4-inch) strips fresh orange zest (removed with a vegetable peeler)
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • If you're able to find Sevillano olives, rinse them under cold water for 5 minutes, then soak them in cold water for 2 hours. Drain well.
  • Combine the olives in a medium bowl.
  • Toast the fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chile flakes and toast until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and add the orange zest and oil. Steep until cool.
  • Pour the oil mixture over the olives. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 6 hours or refrigerate for up to 3 days.

GARLIC FENNEL FLANK STEAK WITH ORANGES



Garlic Fennel Flank Steak with Oranges image

While this dish may appear to be inspired by Italian or Spanish influences (which it is), it's also a take on one of my favorite Chinese dishes: spicy orange beef. I love to grill flank steak with a highly-flavored rub of garlic, fennel, salt and black pepper.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks     Flank Steak Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fennel seed
2 teaspoons salt
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped and bruised
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 orange, juiced
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 (2 pound) flank steak
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 oranges, halved

Steps:

  • Grind black pepper and fennel seed together in a mortar with a pestle. Pour half the pepper mixture into a small bowl and stir in salt.
  • Stir remaining pepper mixture, garlic, rosemary, 2 tablespoons olive oil, orange juice, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
  • Rub rosemary mixture over both sides of flank steak, poking mixture into steak several times with a fork. Transfer steak to a resealable plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove steak from marinade; scrape off and discard any excess marinade.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Sprinkle reserved pepper-fennel mixture over steak. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over orange halves.
  • Cook steak on the preheated grill until it begins to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove to a plate to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing across the grain.
  • Place oranges, flesh-side down, on the grill and cook until flesh is golden and caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes. Place steak and 3 orange halves on a serving platter. Squeeze remaining caramelized orange half over the steak.
