Spicy potato tagine with olives
This Moroccan dish is adapted from Paula Wolfert’s book The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen.
Peel and thickly slice 900g of yellow-fleshed potatoes and place them in a bowl of cold water.
In a heavy saucepan (or well-seasoned tagine) heat 3 tbsp of olive oil and fry a finely chopped onion for 3-4 mins, stirring.
Add a chopped tomato, 1/4 teaspoon each of paprika, ground ginger and cumin, and 2 crushed garlic cloves. Stir for 2 mins.
Add the drained potatoes, a bay leaf and a quarter of lemon (whole).

This olive importer, as an aside, rolls out the barrels
By Andreae Down,
You know what to do when life gives you lemons. But what if it’s barrels of olives instead — and capers and roasted red peppers? More precisely, what do you do with the barrels?
If you’re George Gebelein, you go into the rain barrel business.
Not that he ever intended it that way . No, Gebelein primarily is an olive man. His Orleans Packing Co., hard by the Readville station, imports them by the briny barrelful, along with other specialty vegetables from Spain and Morocco and other exotic locales. Then the veggies are removed, vacuum-packed in glass jars, and sold wholesale.

Reducing foreign oil is olive growers’ goal
California farmers are making a big push, planting tens of thousands of trees
By George Raine,
It was Julio Cesar’s first day planting trees in the olive orchard in the Sacramento Valley and he already had it down to a science:
Dig a hole half a shovel deep, place the root ball attached to a 12-inch-tall tree in the hole, return the dirt and stomp down on it. Six seconds flat. Move on down the line 5 feet and do it again.
Cesar and 34 other California Olive Ranch field hands each seek to plant between 1,200 and 1,500 trees during a seven-hour workday, a tough quota. “You get used to it,” he said.
California Olive Ranch is already the largest orchard for olive oil production in the United States, and the largest milling facility, producing 25 percent of California’s olive oil. Now it is more than doubling in size with the planting of 500,000 olive trees on its 883-acre site in Glenn County.
