Olive Paste Preparation

This should not be a smooth paste as there should be some texture to it. Ideally, this should be made 24 hours ahead. Remove from the refrigerator and allow it to warm up a bit before serving. Serving Suggestions: Serve as a cracker spread. Use as a canape spread, too, with a thin slice of mozzarella and put under the broiler until the cheese melts. Use as a sauce for pasta. Use as a condiment with steaks, chicken, and fish. Wine Suggestion: Dry Sherry Posted to FOODWINE Digest 12 Dec 96 From: J. Meade <meade@AURACOM.COM> Date: Thu, 12 Dec 1996 23:17:45 -0400
