Olive

(Provençal Tuna and Vegetable Sandwich)

Traditional beef stew with Spanish overtones. It's delicious over rice or pasta.

The versatile, easy-to-make puree, in this recipe also adds terrific flavor to sandwiches, pizzas and pastas. Olivada is an olive spread, sometimes called black olive cream, and is available at Italian Markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

The heat of pickled chiles brings a welcome zing that integrates well with the salty elements of puttanesca and acts like a counterweight to rich pork chops.

Invert the ratio of gin to vermouth for a party-friendly and slightly lighter drinking experience.

Warming harissa and cinnamon, briny olives, and sweet dried fruit make up the flavorful base for this weeknight-friendly take on tagine.

With colorful radishes and jammy eggs, this is just as great for a holiday as it is for a casual spring lunch.

Inspired by the Basque pintxo, this great-on-anything salsa packs a punch.

This cheeky chicken recipe crams all of the iconic flavors of a dirty martini—olive brine, vodka, vermouth, and all—into a savory one-pan meal.

Lots to love about this low-lift dinner, but the crispy croutons might be the best part.
