Instructions

3. 3

   Return the green olives, add the stock and bay leaves, and bring to the gentlest simmer.

4. 4

   Cover and braise low and slow until the green olives yields to a spoon, about 45 minutes.

5. 5

   Skim the fat, reduce the sauce to a glaze, and serve with something starchy to catch every drop.
