--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      cloves        garlic -- peeled
     1/4  cup           extra-virgin olive oil
   2                    plum tomatoes -- coarsely chopped
   1      pound         small black, brine-cured olives
   1      Tablespoon    fresh rosemary -- chopped
     1/4  teaspoon      chili pepper flakes
                        freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
   1      Tablespoon    flat-leaf parsley -- minced


Over medium heat, saute the garlic in the oil until it starts to soften. Add
the tomatoes and cook briefly, about 3 minutes. Add the olives, rosemary,
pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes,
basting the olives with the tomato sauce. Garnish with parsley. Serve
immediately.
Yield: 6 appetizer servings.
