Spreads

A perfect partner to salad. Accompany with a platter of celery sticks and radishes with their tops attached.

Whether spread on sandwiches or served alongside roasts, this classic Provençal condiment of pummeled olives is always handy and delicious.

Refrigerate for up to a week.

Nice for breakfast on bagels or toast.

In manor-house cooking, meat, poultry, and fish were preserved by being "potted" — minced and combined with seasonings, then packed in a container and covered with a layer of fat or butter. The fat was removed before serving, and the contents of the container spread on toasts or crackers.
