  1. I couldn't quite get my head around what the combination of flavours might be like so, of course, I had to try it. :) I'm so glad I did! It made a great light lunch paired with your Hab el jose and flatbread. Thanks so much for posting!Made for World Tour 2019

  3. Made for the Goddesses of ZWT-9 & I am sorry to say that DH & I are of the minority opinion on your recipe. I did use a combo of stuffed green & black olives when I saw both had been used by other chefs & I otherwise made the recipe as written. While we like all the ingredients in the recipe, it is a very easy-fix & it is visually pretty ~~ The flavor profile the ingredients created when combined was not to our liking. DH called it "wierd", but it was worth a try & I see several other chefs favored the recipe w/enthusiasm, so thx for sharing it w/us.
     
  4. Used fresh organic oranges from our CSA box.They were arranged on a bed of large outer leaves of romaine lettuce. Tried 'Queen Sevillana' pimineto-stuffed olives, replaced part of the cayenne with Spanish smoked paprika, red onion for color. Perfect. Thanks for posting. Reviewed for Veg Tag/May.
