[Guest guest]

I'm assuming from my crummy notes that Olivada is also used in Garlic Lover's

Chili - which I'll send next.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3/4 cup ripe olives -- pitted

1/4 cup olive oil

1 medium onion -- chopped

1 fennel bulb -- diced

3 garlic cloves -- minced

1 small green bell pepper -- chopped

2 cups diced tomatoes, fresh or canned

1 6 oz can tomato paste

3 tablespoons chili powder, commercial or homemade

1 tablespoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

2 cups cooked chickpeas

3 cups cooked vegetarian sausage -- crumbled

 

Place the olives in a food processor, and puree. Slowly stream in 3 tablespoons

of the oil until well blended. Transfer the olivada to a small bowl, and set

aside.

 

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large chili pot over medium heat. Add

the onion, fennel, garlic, and bell pepper, cover, and cook until the vegetables

are softened, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder,

paprika, oregano, water, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, chickpeas, and

vegetarian sausage. Stir well to combine, lower the heat, and simmer,

uncovered, for 30 minutes. Serve the chili over polenta or pasta, and drizzle

the olivada over each portion.

 

Description:

" Olivada, a puree of ripe olives, adds richness to this zesty

Italian-style chili. Polenta would make a perfect accompaniment, or

you can serve it over your favorite pasta. "
