After winning a Twitter competition last week with @OlivesEtAl I received a lovely Kilner jar of Sunshine Olives. I let them know via Twitter that I would be attempting one of their recipes (featuring Sunshine Olives) featured on their website and that I would send them a pic of the finished dish. Will share this with you below.
I seem to keep bumping into Olive Et Al at local Deli's, local food fairs, I love love their distinctive packaging and have been a fan of their story for some time now. There is a fab 5 minute video over at Jamie Olivers website, which interviews one of the founders: Giles Henschel, where he explains how the business began, his passion on using traditional methods in preparing the Olives (dating back 6000 yrs) , the best thing he likes about his job etc. If you are passionate about local produce & like to hear business success stories: go view the video here.
The recipe I stole & adapted slightly (no Thyme) from Olives Et Al, wasn't particularly adventurous, however I did make my own fresh tagliatelle (new Pasta Making machine for Xmas).
So for lunch we both had: Roast Veg Pasta with Sunshine Olives and it was delicious.
Rather than fresh Thyme, I stirred in Jamie Olivers Pesto to the Roasted Veg, the olives & pine nuts finished the dish off lovely. So many thanks sent to Olives Et Al, for allowing us to have a very posh lunch on a Saturday.
