Steak with feisty green olive tapenade and garlic mayo
“If you are anything like me, you will smoke out the whole kitchen in the cooking process of this recipe. Fear not, though — the reward is great. All steaks are best when prepped and seasoned simply, cooked quickly and given plenty of time to rest. Do those three things and no amount of smoke will dampen the result. Serve these tasty strips of steak and the indulgent dips with some flatbread and a tangle of watercress.”

6 Lebensmittel, die nicht halten, was sie versprechen
Schwarze Oliven
Bei schwarzen Oliven handelt es sich nicht immer um natürlich gereifte Oliven. Oft werden grüne Oliven einfach nur schwarz eingefärbt. Das muss bei loser Ware oder in der Gastronomie allerdings kenntlich gemacht werden. Auf verpackten Oliven darf dieser Hinweis jedoch fehlen. Wer es ganz genau wissen will, schaut am besten in die Zutatenliste: Eisen-II-Gluconat (E579) und Eisen-II-Lactat (E585) deuten auf dieses Verfahren hin.
Wasabi
Ihr denkt, dass in Wasabi automatisch auch echter japanischer Meerrettich steckt? Dann liegt ihr (in den meisten Fällen) falsch. Wilder Wasabi wächst nur in Japan und ist äußerst anspruchsvoll. Aus diesem Grund kostet das Gewürz auch zwischen 150 und 200 Euro pro Kilo. Die im Supermarkt erhältlichen Wasabi-Nüsse oder Erbsen enthalten zwischen 0,003 und 2 Prozent des Originalprodukts.
Aufgrund der schlechten Verfügbarkeit und des Preises wird wilder Wasabi (Hon Wasabi) oft mit westlichem Wasabi (Seiyo Wasabi), ein Meerrettich-Senf-Gemisch, ersetzt. Der Unterschied: Hon Wasabi ist mintgrün, Seiyo Wasabi froschgrün.
Weiße Schokolade
Weiße Schokolade ist eigentlich überhaupt keine Schokolade. Wenn man sich die Zutatenliste anschaut, wird der weißen Schokolade das Kakaopulver und die Kakaomasse entzogen – die für normale Schoko unabdingbar sind. Zur eigentlichen Herstellung wird lediglich Kakaobutter, Zucker und Milch verwendet. Genau gesagt, dürfte sich diese Nascherei also nicht Schokolade nennen. Wir finden: Mit dieser Mogelverpackung können wir leben.

Black olive and lemon paté
A fabulous quartet of flavours – the richness of the cream cheese is cut through with the acidity of lemon and the earthy tang of olives.
Serves 4
100g olives, pitted
250g cream cheese
Juice of 1 lemon
Black pepper
1 Add the pitted olives to a blender and blend until almost smooth.
2 Transfer the olive mix to a fine sieve and sit it over a bowl to drain any excess liquid – around 5 minutes should do it. However, if your olives were in liquid it might take a little longer.
3 Next, add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl with the olives, lemon juice and black pepper. Carefully fold together until incorporated.
4 Place a round pastry cutter in the centre of a serving plate, add the paté and tamp down. Remove the ring and serve with some dressed leaves and hot toast.

Antipasto platter
Method
For the dressing:
• Mix all the ingredients and whisk them lightly.
• Keep tasting the mixture every few minutes to check for sourness or sweetness. The dressing should be tangy in taste.
• Adjust the mixture by adding sugar or honey.
For the vegetables:
• Marinate the sliced vegetables in the dressing for about an hour or so. Allow them to sit in the refrigerator for the juice to sink in.
• Sprinkle the veggies with oregano and fresh parsley for added taste.
On the side
• Cut some pita bread into small, triangular pieces and toast it.
• Add a small bowl of hummus or salsa sauce to dip the vegetables in.
The concept of antipasti
Antipasto (plural: antipasti) is the Italian name given to the foods offered before a main meal — an appetiser, if you will. This is a delightful way to set the stage for the coming feast and invite family and friends to the dinner table. The presentation of antipasti — the different colours, artful composition, varied tastes and the care taken in its presentation — serve as reminders for guests that it is time for relaxation, pleasure and indulgence.
According to Italian tradition, the ingredients of antipasti are selected on the basis of colour, flavour and how well they complement one another and the main course. A typical antipasti platter includes olives, pepperoni, anchovies, mushrooms, artichokes, cured meats, pickles, different cheeses and vegetable slices dipped in oil or vinegar. It can be served hot or cold, in bite-size plates or as elegant centrepieces from which everyone is served. In Italy, the most common antipasto dish includes a simple display of cured meats like salami or mortadella slices along with hard cheeses garnished with olives, onions, peppers or sun-dried tomatoes.
The Italians generally save antipasti for special occasions and big parties and celebrations. In Milan, enjoying an aperitif (alcoholic drinks served before a meal) has become a sort of institution. The Milanese consider drinking wine while nibbling on some potato chips, olives and peanuts an hour before the main course an essential for the good life. In fact, it would be unthinkable for the Milanese to start a dinner without an aperitif!.

Patricia Chuey: Make your sandwich sensational
With quality bread and delicious, nutritious fillings, they don’t have to be just for lunch
The sandwich is believed to have originated in the 1700s. While playing cards, the Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, became so engrossed in his game that he couldn’t pull himself away for dinner. To eat during the game without a mess, he requested that his meat be served between two slices of bread. This new style of eating meat and bread together became so popular that it was named the “sandwich” in honour of the earl.
Some people love sandwiches; entire restaurant chains thrive on the concept. Others have had their fill and quit sandwiches forever when grade school ended. Sandwiches can be good, bad or ugly in terms of taste and nutritional value. A carefully constructed sandwich can be as satisfying and nourishing as a slow-cooked meal and bring variety to the dinner routine.
To make a dinner-worthy sandwich, choose whole-grain bread or a fibre-rich gluten-free version, a whole grain pita, tortilla or even lettuce leaves. Pair it with a protein such as nut butter, chickpea or other bean spread, eggs, fish, turkey or lean meat. Then, load on the vegetables or plan a tasty vegetable side — or do both. Whether a chicken pesto panino, smashed chickpeas and avocado on sasquatch loaf or the ideas here, have fun creating and naming a specialty sandwich for your family.

Olive Tapenade and Mushroom Bruschetta
…The Chili Cheese Toast, which was recommended to us, was strictly okay: the green olives and green bell pepper did add to the flavour. But the Olive Tapenade and Mushroom Bruschetta is a delight. Loaded on the bruschetta, moist and bursting with flavours, it was devoured.

Olive Tapenade with green & black olives
I find this tapenade to be very addicting! I like to eat it with a neutral tasting cracker, such as . Blue Diamond Nut-Thins and Le Pain de fleurs Buckwheat Crispbread are also really good.
Olive Tapenade with green & black olives
Low-FODMAP, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free
makes about 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients
1 can (dr. wt. 6 oz.) pitted, whole black olives, drained
1 can (dr. wt. 6 oz.) pitted, whole green olives, drained
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon garlic oil (try my quick or oven-roasted recipes)
1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste
3 large, fresh basil leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
Directions
Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Whirl until it forms a smooth paste (about 1 minute in a food processor). You can serve this at room temp but I actually like to eat it chilled. Serve with crackers or as a sandwich spread. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
