Baked Sicilian Olives

Ingredients

2-3 red hot chillies
1/2 handful of fresh rosemary
5-6 cloves of garlic

Method

Pre-heat your oven to 150°C
Put olives into an Oigen cast iron tapas pan and pour in olive oil to cover 3/4 olives
Cut the root end off the garlic and put a slit down the skin of each clove - add to the tapas pan
Pluck sprigs of rosemary and put 1/2 into the pan (reserve the rest for garnish)
Slice the chilies long ways so they resemble flowers and add
Toss the ingredients lightly and place into the oven for 10-15 minutes
Take out of the oven and put tapas pan on a wooden base and let cool for 5 minutes
Toss lightly once more and top with fresh rosemary and serve
