Mediterranean Olive Relish

   Bring your smoker to its appropriate cooking temperature.

   Arrange the olives in a shallow, smokeproof baking dish or in a piece of heavy-duty foil molded into a small tray.

3. 3

   Drizzle the olives with oil.

4. 4

   Transfer the olives to the smoker and cook until they take on a light but identifiable smoke flavor, about 45 to 55 minutes at a temperature of 225 F to 250 F.

5. 5

   When they are cool enough to handle, chop the olives and place them in a medium bowl along with their cooking juices.

6. 6

   Stir in the onion, parsley, orange and lemon juices, and cumin.

7. 7

   Drizzle in another 1 or 2 teaspoons of oil to bind the mixture and make it glisten, and to balance the fruit juice acid.

8. 8

   Refrigerate the relish for at least 30 minutes.

9. 9

   (It can be made 1 day ahead.)

10. 10
