Hey there,
How are things with everyone? I hope you are all having a good week so far. 🙂 It has been a busy one for me, I have not be able to get half of what needs to be done off my to-do-list. 🙂 My voice has slowly started to return!! everyone is starting to hear me again, and not just a whisper. It is a bit frustrating when you are trying to explain a topic to someone and they can’t hear you..:(
Anyway, on to the recipe of the day, so this is a very simple 1-2-3 step recipe for Olive lovers. I enjoy the darker Olives more than the Green ones, this because the Green Olives to me are not as ripe as the darker ones. (This is my opinion) Actually, I have never come across Green Olives that have not been marinated in vinegar, does anyone know if there are any? I did search on the net for some information but I couldn’t find any, If anyone knows of any please let me know..:)
Have a good day everyone!! 🙂

Thank you sweet Luda 🙂
I love tapenade. My husband is Greek, so we often make this. 😊
Hi!! really great then you already know most of the greek recipes..:) Thank you
My sister in laws taught me some of the recipes and I’ve picked up others from extended family members and good Greek church cookbooks. I love Greek or Italian foods 😋
Greek Church Cookbooks!! I have some of them too…There are sooooo many Greek recipes it’s amazing….Me too a huge fan of Italian food, love Paella, and of course Greek. I do cook other recipes, but unfortunately I am so limited with ingredients in NL that it takes sometime to figure out what to make. When I go back to Greece once a year is believe it or not when I do all my shopping…:)
I have never been to Greece! We talk about going one day. I would love that.
Seriously!!! You should go over during the summer time..when its warm and you can head to the beaches. Things have changed tremendously. We left Greece 7 years ago due to the crisis. I grew up in New York so this is a third move for me to another country
Wow! My husband is 2nd generation Greek, grew up in buffalo NY. Crossing my fingers. We need to just do it.
I agree when you are able too, fly over to Greece…Athens is a busy city wayyyy to hot for the summer…Which part of Greece is your hubby from?
So glad you are on the mend!!💕
Thanks Dee 🙂
This looks pretty! I like the blend of olives & capers in here.
Thank you, it is a lovely combination. I choice to put in less Capers so that the olives stand out more. 🙂
My friend in Greece sent us a small jar a while back…the brand was Bretas. I’m so happy to have a recipe now! Thank you Sophie! xx
ahhhh Vretasss…that is a good one 🙂 You are very welcome, it so simple to make…:)
