Another delicious recipe idea from our friend, James Strawbridge.

The bittersweet Nocellara del Belice olives are the star of the show in this sharing meze bowl. The combination of fruity cous cous, herby tabbouleh and spiced halloumi all work together around the plump salty olives. Perfect for a long weekend lunch or to take to work for a mid-week treat.

La Verde olives season this dish with a delicate saltiness, they explode with juicy flavour in a rich tarragon mustard sauce and help cut through the rich cream. It’s a serious comfort food recipe and perfect for the whole family.

La Verde Olives with wild garlic and basil make the perfect addition to a classic home baked focaccia. The juicy olives add a grassy flavour and the aromatic herb marinade is delicious to season this rustic bread. Walnuts work as a crunchy topping and the pesto marbles the dough with springtime allium notes. Serve with roasted pepper soup or with cheese and extra pesto.

This quick and simple pasta dish using just a handful of ingredients is great after a busy day or when you just can’t be bothered to go to too much effort but still want something delicious. 

A super simple Mediterranean-style rice dish that you can just pop in the oven and leave to do its thing.

A colourful and delicious Mediterranean inspired one-pot vegetarian dish.
