Italian Green Olive Salad Preparation
Adapted from “Mediterranean Cooking,”” by Paula Wolfert (revised edition, HarperCollins, 1994). INSTRUCTIONS: Rinse the olives under cold running water and drain. Gently crush each one with the side of a small cleaver. The skin and the pulp should tear, but do not break the pit. Finely chop together the celery, celery leaves, anchovies and capers. Place the olives in a mixing bowl; add the chopped aromatics, red pepper flakes and garlic. Add vinegar and enough oil to coat. Mix well. Let stand at room temperature for about 2 hours. Yields 2 cups.
