KALAMATA QUICK BREAD

 

1 TB olive oil

1 c. onion, chopped

¼ c. sun dried tomatoes, chopped

2 TB melted butter

1 c. buttermilk*

2 large eggs

2 c. flour

1 ½ tsp. dried Italian seasoning**

1 tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt

¾ c. kalamata olives, pitted, coarsely chopped

 

In a small skillet, saute onion in olive oil 3-4 minutes until wilted. Turn off heat; stir in sun dried tomatoes. Allow to cool.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees; generously grease 2/5” loaf pans or a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, buttermilk and eggs well. Stir in dry ingredients and onion mixture. Stir well to combine. Mixture will seem very dense.

Transfer into prepared pans. Bake 20-25 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool 15 minutes.

*Buttermilk substitution – pour 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into 1 cup measuring cup; fill with milk. Allow to sit 10 minutes.

**Can substitute Italian seasoning for basil and/or oregano…holiday time? Use dried thyme & sage.
