To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Small Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (140g) mixed oil-packed olives (with pits), or any available whole olives (see Note)
  • 2 strips of orange peel
  • ¼ cup (50ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • ¼ teaspoon coriander seeds or fennel seeds
  • ½ bay leaf
  • teaspoon chili flakes

Preparation

  1. Place all the ingredients in the Anyday dish and stir to combine. Cover with lid (knob lifted).
  2. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is aromatic and starts to bubble slightly.
  3. Allow olives to cool with the lid on to infuse for at least 30-45 minutes.
  4. Once cool, serve slightly warm or allow olives to cool completely uncovered. Store covered in the refrigerator for 15-30 days.

Suggestions

  • Substitute lemon peel instead of orange for a more subtle aroma.
  • Add rosemary, thyme, or oregano for a more herb-forward marinade.
  • Toss in fresh chopped dill right before serving when serving for a refreshing touch

Recipe Notes

  • Oil-packed olives can be hard to find. If not available, use brine-packed olives, but make sure to strain and dry the olives well in a clean lint-free towel before continuing with the recipe.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
