Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption

My favorite olive ever was served to us on the Costa Brava at a teeny tiny restaurant by the sea. I have no idea what kind they were or what they were brined with, but it was pure olive crack. Couldn't stop eating them.

Has anyone made this yet? All the recipes I've seen for creme brulee require the cream to be heated first - will this set up?

Making dessert is not my forte. I always feel like I should be wearing a 50's housewife apron. But using a blow torch ups the testostorone level back up.

I could eat nothing but pumpkin pie for the rest of my life and be happy. But now that you mention brulee...

sounds tasty--and easy. And a good excuse to buy a kitchen torch.

About time I broke away from the pumpkin cheesecake.
It is a new day!

Yes, please! Went out and bought a butane torch just for this recipe. So much better than standard pumpkin pie.

I've made pumpkin creme brulee and to have PIE CRUST included - adds another dimension of yumminess.

Any olive cured any way, I love them all. I have a small dish every day after work with a glass of wine. or beer. or whatever is available.

arbequina olives are my personal favorites - and not just because they're fun to say! as always, feta makes anything taste better and these two go great together

I love ALL olives. The more the merrier. Kalamata, Black, Green, Nicoise bring it on! What a beautiful idea & a great opportunity! I would love to showcase this on my site!

Kalamatas are amazing, but I'm a huge fan of the black Greek/Turkish ones, not sure of the name...

Moroccan oil-cured are my favorite, the wrinkled ugly things.

Nicoise are definitely my favorite, but I'm a sucker for jalapeno-stuffed green olives too!

I actually don't love olives: I like tapenades and things, but am not a huge fan of eating olives by themselves.

...but I sure do love olive oil :)

Yum! Warm mixed olives with fennel, orange zest and Anaheim chile. My favorite olive is the gaeta.

My olive of the moment is garlic-stuffed green. Yum!

I have never meet an olive I didn't love. Since I am just back from Madrid, I will say arbequina olives with a nice red wine at an outdoor tapas bar.
