Warm Rosemary Olives

May 27, 2011
Warm Rosemary Olives may be the simplest little appetizer ever ... but they sure pack a big flavor bang for the buck!  Make and enjoy this super easy appetizer with any combination of olives you'd like.


To quote one of my friends about this little bite:  "The whole is way more than the sum of the parts."  Yup, that's a good way to describe this treat.  It's only four little ingredients, but when put together and heated up, the result is fantabulous.

All you do is toss some olives, fresh rosemary, olive oil, and crushed red pepper on some aluminum foil.  Then seal it up to form a little pouch and toss it in the oven or on the grill.  That's it!


On one of my VERY few camping trips (I'm soooo not a camper ... I need electricity and a sleeping environment that absolutely does not include the potential of critter visitors), we cooked this appetizer over the campfire.  Hey, who says you have to limit campfire cooking to hot dogs??

  1. Your mom's idea of adding capers and portobellas sounds fabulous. That would be taking camp cooking to a whole new level.
