After an exciting finish to the inaugural year of the Steemit IronChef contest, hosted by @progressivechef, we're right back in for the second year, with the OLIVE as the star ingredient.
I love olives. Pun intended, or whatever you want. They come in so many varieties and flavors, with different brines and oils bringing out their complex flavors. I would have to say that I love some oil-cured olives, and olives stuffed with spicy peppers always hit the spot, but on the chance I can find some of the lighter green, milder Castelvetrano olives, I will gladly eat dozens.
Well I am already very late in the cycle for submitting this entry, so I'll simply post my handwritten recipes and photos and get on my merry way!

For this week's contest, I made
- Olive biscotti
- Olive, dill, and goat cheese spread, and
- Olive, smoked onion, and pomegranate relish over beer-battered sardines and beer-battered olives.
Here's how it turned out (delicious), and also my proof photo!
