  1. I have sent to you some month ago my recipe of olive cream.
    But this is a little different from the first (I often change it).
    Look at this pic:
    http://tinypic.com/ipzb4k.jpg
    For this recipe I have used only 1 tbs of capers, 3 variety of olives (300 g
    of Kalemata, 300gr sweet black olives; 200 gr sweet green olives; 2
    anchovies under oil; 1 big garlic clove; 1 1/2 cup of parsley (only leaves);
    about 1/2 cup EVOO.
    Put all this ingredients in the robot and mix with oil till you obatain a
    cream.
    I made a big quantity because at Christmas I will use it for my appetizer
    (and perhaps to season pasta; in this case you add cream to the olives
    cream.
    I have cleaned all that mountain of parsley because I keep it in my freezer
    ( still chopped) ready for the use. I use a great quantity of parsley to
    season and garnish my pasta dish.
    Cheers

    Thanks for this recipe, Pandora.

    A common pesto used here in the U.S. is made with
    4 cloves minced garlic

    2 c fresh basil

    1/3 c extra virgin olive oil

    salt and pepper

    2T pine nuts or chopped walnuts (optional)

    Sometimes a recipe will substitute 1/2 parsley for the basil. It makes a
    little different taste, and in the winter basil is very expensive.

    This recipe is typically used over dried/cooked pasta.

    As I understand: you add cream to your olive cream, that is used over cooked
    pasta. Is this correct?

    Italian Parsely is so common here and inexpensive compared to basil that
    your olive cream looks like a good recipe to use in the winter. I try to
    keep Italian Parsley on hand all the time, but I usually throw 1/2 of it
    away. I've looked for ways to use it, but this recipe is very good,
    particulary if I can use it over pasta.

    thanks, Pan,

    Yes! My opinion is: use only season vegetable! So I use basil only in
    summer.

    Yes! Once upon a time I made this experiment. I loved it. So I often make
    it.

    I'll try it after the holidays and let you know. We'll be someone else's
    guests for all the meals for about a week. Lucky me.

    I used the last of my Italian Parsley in a chicken broth I'm making now for
    the recipe that Dog sent for the savoy cabbage. I put in a carrot, 1/3 onion
    and 1 stalk of celery & a few celery leaves -- (it wasn't a big carcass).

    I won't put in dried tarragon now because it's already simmering, but I was
    wondering if dried tarragon would enhance the broth in any noticeable way.
    Perhaps 1/3 tsp?

    I'm lucky too because we are guest for the 3 days of 24-25-26. But I'm a

    and perhaps some vegetable flan....

    I have found that dried tarragon is not very parfumed and tasty as the fresh
    one. I want to say that if you don't put it is the same thing🙂))
    Because celery has a very strong taste....
    BTW if you want to put it inside, you have to use more than 1/3 tsp; I would
    put 2 TBS to feel the taste.

    Pandora, the recipe is finished and some eaten and the rest put away. I used
    'andouille' chicken sausages
    http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&q=andouille+sausage&spell=1
    and
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/search.html/103-8671644-9848613?me=&node=3580501&keywords=andouille%20sausage
    and
    http://www.gumbopages.com/food/andouille.html

    and used the pieces of chicken that were left from the carcass. I might use
    a different sausage (perhaps pork andouille) the next time as the dish
    tasted a little mild; but good. The cabbage tasted somewhere between the
    napa cabbage I generally cook with, and regular head cabbage that I
    generally cook with. If I can continue to get such nice heads of savoy, I
    think I will not use as much napa cabbage. Napa cabbage pictures:
    http://images.google.com/images?q=napa+cabbage&hl=en
    which is use more for Asian dishes.

    "Italian parsley" is the flat leafed kind. regular is the curly. I
    always use flat-leaf.

    She whizzes it in a food processor until it's emulsified... creamy
    looking. I do mine that way too.

    Have you thought about growing it? That way, you just snip off what
    you need.

    I may do this next year. But as far as Italian Parsley -- this is the way
    it goes with Italian Parsley, Cilantro & Curly Leaft Parsley. I buy usually
    all three at one time. When I use them in a recipe, I usually use a lot,
    sometimes half of the bunch. Not so much cilantro, though, but the bunches
    aren't usually that large. The curly leaf is usually good for taboulleh or
    pesto and I will use half a bunch in that way. Probably is I grow anything,
    it will be cilantro because I use a few snips more often than a large bunch.

    Oh, the cheerful Pandora has just made my day! I often take into work
    a very large prepared Foccacia bread sandwich to share, usually having
    "set" overnight in my refrigerator with sweet basil pesto in place of
    the more common sandwich spreads. The sandwich always has three or
    four layers of different salami meats and two layers of a cheese, with
    sliced tomatoes to set and with crisp lettuce added just before cutting
    this sandwich into sixths for serving along with either fruits or a
    Ceasar dressed salad. This olive spread will be a very nice change
    from my using pesto, and I believe I will make this for-sharing
    sandwich with sliced beef and Swiss and Mozarella cheeses.
    I am thanking you so much!

    You are welcome!!!! You give me an idea, too 🙂
    Tell me if you like! It's very simple to do: the only problem is you have to
    take out all the olive bones 🙂

    Yes, and I think it is the curly one that is used in the Middle Eastern
    tabouleh (spelled various ways).
    At least that is the one I've been using. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
    I don't think the flat leaf would taste right to me.
    I buy more flat leaf anymore than curly.

    "Italian parsley" is the flat leafed kind. regular is the curly. I always
    use flat-leaf.

    Oh! I understand! You have the curly one.
    Thank you

    Yes, and I think it is the curly one that is used in the Middle Eastern
    tabouleh (spelled various ways).
    At least that is the one I've been using. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
    I don't think the flat leaf would taste right to me.
    I buy more flat leaf anymore than curly.

    They do taste different. I think, in the case of the tabbouleh, it is
    more a case of texture though. mmmm, tabbouleh.

    For me too, but there will always be someone who claims differently
    here in rfc. IMO: curley parsley is prettier and the flat stuff looks
    too close to cilantro.

    Italian flat-leaf is so very dark and reminds me of wild woods and forest
    growth, but cilantro reminds me more of cultivated garden growth. Because of
    this I feel that Italian leaf lends itself more to use with wilder
    mushrooms, whereas cilantro would be used with milder tasting mushrooms as
    in Asian cooking.
    Just a thought.
