I'll try the Candied Olives . . . . if I can find an acceptable substitution for the Castelvetranos. Any suggestions? Thanks!
it sounds like a meaty, fruity green olive is in order, something not too briny or salty-- i would try cerignolas. (castelvetranos and cerignolas might be my two favorite olives!)
Just FYI I have already tested these with the Castelvetranos.
Thanks for the EP for the shortbread cookies!
I'm so late today but happy to see an amazing recipe left. I'd love to test the Cioppino. Congrats to all the EPs - with thanks to A & M & AndreaLynn for the EP!
I'd like to try the Brussels Sprout Leaf, Jerusalem Artichoke, & Castelvetrano Olive Salad..., please. And if I cannot locate those Castelvetrano olives, any preferred substitute?
Moroccan Lemon Chicken with Olives is right up my alley - I will try that one out!
