I do love olives,very much. When I am out and about food shopping I am always on the lookout for new varieties. In Sainsbury yesterday I picked up a pot of Couchillo olives with pinenuts in a basil dressing. The olives themselves are teeny tiny, the size of a peanut. They have been pitted and marinated with pinenuts in an extra virgin olive oil, garlic and basil dressing. They are mellow tasting, not bitter at all. It would be easy to tip them straight into the food processor and create an instant, no fuss tapenade. However Joseph and I have discovered that there is infinite amusement to be had by skewering them with cocktail sticks and popping them one at a time.
