To make olives with tomato paste sauce, stir tomato paste with olive oil and seasonings, then coat the olives evenly. A little warm water can loosen the paste. Chill the mixture briefly before serving so the flavours come together.
Both green and black olives work in olives with tomato paste sauce. Green olives bring a firmer, sharper flavour, while black olives taste milder and fruitier. Choose pitted olives if you want the dish to be easy to serve as a snack or appetizer.
Serve olives with tomato paste sauce as an appetizer alongside bread, cheese, or other small mezze dishes. They also fit a Turkish-style breakfast spread. Since the sauce and olives have a strong savoury taste, offer them in a small bowl rather than as the main dish.
To make olives with tomato paste sauce less salty, rinse the olives or soak them briefly in fresh water, then drain them well before mixing. Use unsalted tomato paste if available, and taste the finished mixture before adding any extra salt.
Homemade olives with tomato paste sauce generally keep for about 3–4 days in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator. Use a clean utensil each time you serve them, and do not leave the dish sitting at room temperature for an extended period.
Yes, you can freeze olives with tomato paste sauce, but thawing may soften the olives and make the sauce watery. Freeze small portions in airtight containers and thaw them in the refrigerator. The texture is usually best when the dish is freshly made.
Chilli flakes, oregano, black pepper, and garlic are common seasonings for olives with tomato paste sauce. Add them sparingly at first: the olives and tomato paste already have a pronounced savoury flavour, and some olives are quite salty.
No, olives with tomato paste sauce are not the same as olive tapenade. This dish keeps the olives whole or in pieces and coats them with tomato paste; tapenade is usually a finely chopped or blended olive spread, often made with capers or anchovies.
Yes, olives with tomato paste sauce can be added to roasted vegetables or a cooked sauce. Add them near the end of cooking so the olives keep their shape and do not become overly soft. Reduce the added salt because the olives can season the dish.
They can be high in sodium because brined olives and tomato paste may both contribute salt. If you are watching your sodium intake, use rinsed, lower-salt olives, choose unsalted paste, and keep the serving small.

Olives with tomato paste sauce brings together brined olives and tomato paste in a savoury dish often made at home in Turkey. The olives stay firm and pleasantly chewy, while the paste adds a concentrated, gently tangy tomato flavour that clings to each piece.
In Turkey, it may be served at breakfast with bread, alongside tea, or as part of a meze spread. Its nutritional character comes mainly from the olives’ fat, with some fibre; the brine can also make it high in sodium. For a milder, less salty serving, rinse the olives briefly and use a modest amount of paste. It pairs well with fresh vegetables, bread and other breakfast or meze dishes.
