    Tip: Pitting Olives: The key is to use a tool that's as hard as the pits to get them out. Try the bottom of a small pot or pan. A six-inch skillet is a good size. Put the olives on a cutting board in groups of three or four and put the bottom of the pan flat on top of them. With the heel of your hand, smash the olives between the pan and the board, using the curved edge of the pan for leverage. Once flattened, the olives will give up their pits.
