RECIPE COURTESY OF FRANCESCO ANTONUCCI
Keywords: walnut, olive, dressing, appetizer
Ingredients: ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives
3 ½ tablespoons (25g) coarsely chopped walnuts
½ cup (125 ml) red wine vinegar
1 ½ cups (375 ml) extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cooking Time:
Preparation Time:
Serves ( 4 person is Default ): Makes 2 cups
Note:
Introduction ( a short intro ): "This is my invention." Francesco says he was inspired one day when he heard a chef talking about an olive dressing. The addition of walnuts helps mellow the intensity of the olives. A more typically Venetian rendition would require green olives, but Kalamata olives with their lovely mellow flavor, are better suited to the dressing.
