Olives Et Al

Over the years, Olives Et Al have developed an incredible range of what we call 'Sauces'. Some of our favourites are Pesto alla Genovese, with fresh Italian Basil, whole pine nuts and 18 month aged Parmesan, (which won awards within a month of being launched last summer!) and the brand new Chilli Harissa, with wickedly hot chillis crushed with garl... ic, herbs and spices - amazing with chicken (see our Harissa Chicken recipe here), but also excellent with fish and stirred into tagines, rice, dips, couscous, on a jacket spud and stirred into favourites like pasta sauce, Spaghetti Bolognaise and Chilli. Sometimes though the oldies are the best and recently we've had a lot of requests for things to do with good ol' Putney. Putney, made with sundried tomatoes, wine vinegar, red peppers, onions, extra virgin olive oil, chilli, lemon juice and pepper is, to all intents and purposes, a tomato sauce or relish but, it's a tomato sauce with a difference. Firstly, and most importantly, there's nothing artificial in Putney, or any of our sauces, (we think that's really important because Olives Et Al is all about happy, digging in at the table together, family-time food and we don't want to feed our family any nasties), so you can feed your brood in confidence. Secondly, it just tastes incredible and bursts with flavour and thirdly, it's an absolute staple in the kitchen (and essential in our house) because it's so quick and easy to use and, let's face it, quick suppers are much appreciated! So, this is what we do with Putney: A base for pizzas and tartlets - chuck some on and smooth it over As a pasta sauce (just cook the pasta and stir in the Putney) Stuffed into chicken (then wrap the chicken with bacon and roast for a bit)Read More
