Savoury olive, onion & coriander ‘cake’.

This is a regular in many Cypriot households, mine included.
I got the recipe from my Mom’s cousin in Cyprus years ago – I like the fact that everything is measured in cups, so it’s really easy to follow, it’s also delicious!
So you need…..

1 cup of pitted, sliced black olives
3 cups of plain flour
4 eggs
1 onion, very finely chopped
1 cup of oil – half olive, half vegetable (ie corn or rapeseed)
2 teaspoons of baking powder
about half a cup of chopped coriander
1 cup of evaporated milk

I mixed everything up in my KA for a couple of minutes – couldn’t be easier, then put the mix into an oiled bundt pan (don’t worry too much about the size)

Gas mark 4, or 160 degrees C for about an hour.
Lovely served warm.
