Method:

Oven temperature: 220°C

1. Place all the ingredients, except the
almonds and olive oil, in a small ovenproof
dish. Cover with a sheet of baking paper
and cover tightly with foil. Cook for 1 hour
in a preheated oven. Remove from the oven
and leave to cool slightly.

2. Drain the olives and combine with the
toasted almonds and olive oil. Serve as
antipasto along with bruschetta, mozzarella
balls, cold meat, roasted tomatoes and
sweet chilli strips.

Wine suggestion: A Sauvignon Blanc
will withstand the strong, diverse flavours
of the tapas.
