Ouch this is going to come from memory.... a long ago memory [:0]
Use only the freshest of olives. Take an aluminum pan (disposable) and cut the sides of it down leaving the lip 1/2 as tall as your olives. I suggest placing in on the Bradley rack before you add your olives.
In a bowl mix the following FRESH items.
Olives
Rosemary--If you cannot find fresh rosemary in the supermarket then go to a garden shop. Generally one of them will have a small rosemary plant for sale. Slightly crush the rosemary leaves. (If you can grow a rosemary bush I suggest you do. I have one!)
Sweet Green Chili Pepper--roasted and chopped finely.
Red Bell Pepper--roasted and chopped finely.
1 or 2 cloves of garlic--chopped finely.
Next add picked capers.
Next,
Take dehydrated tomato pieces and place them in a pan and add cracked black pepper. Cover with enough chicken broth so you can reconstitute the tomato pieces over a slow boil. Do not overly re-hydrate! You want a soft but firm item. Once done drain the chicken broth off and add tomato piece to the mixing bowl. (Drink the broth if you like [^] )
Now add enough Olive oil and some deep red wine so that when you mix this all together everything has a sticky kind of look. Spread this mixture into the aluminum pan. Try not to allow the olives to touch each other. You may add any small amounts of the oil/ wine mixture you have left over to the bottom of the pan as well. However, not much-just enough to coat the pan if you like.
I would smoke these for 2 hours using Pecan (if you have it)at a temp range of 180 -- 200 F. After the two hours of smoke I would slide my heat bar all the way to high for a time period of 30 to 45 minutes. What you are going to be looking for a congealed/ gelatinized look. However, don't allow this to overly dry out, and you don't want the olives cooked into a mush.
As far as the amounts to use will depend up how many olives you are going to smoke.
Sorry that I cannot be of any more help than this, but as I said I'm pulling this from a long ago memory.
Edit: I just remembered the capers! Ha ha that what I get for getting old... at least it is the only thing slipping... [^][^][^]
