  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup brine of green olives (or the brine of black olives)
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbs grated Edam cheese (I didn’t have Edam so I used gorgonzola about 200 g)
  • 10 green olives (or black olives)
  • 2 pieces roasted bell peppers (any color)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbs sherry or brandy (Madeira works very well, too!)
