We love to sprinkle this seasoning mix over all manner of salads and pasta dishes, as well as the Ricotta Crostini.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Kalamata olives, pitted

  • ¼ cup sesame seeds, toasted

  • 1 small dried red chile, crumbled (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Arrange olives on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Cook until dried and crisp, about 3 hours. Let cool completely.

  2. Finely chop olives until almost powdery. Stir in sesame seeds and chile. Seasoning can be stored at room temperature up to 2 weeks.
