Notes

Olives: I LOVE Castelvetrano olives in this recipe. It can be hard to find them, especially pitted ones, so when you do, STOCK UP! They are so good for this recipe and also for snacking.

Vegan Adaptation: Just omit the butter! You can add some more olive oil in its place to achieve a nice lusciousness.
