Tip
Macarons for aperitifs – a nice change from the usual breadsticks and olives.When it comes to olive oil, opt for a Nyons olive oil PDO (subtle flavour) for its dominant aromas of fresh hazelnut and cut grass, with slightly buttery notes.Or choose another olive oil with a subtle flavour: PDO olive oil from Nice, AOC Languedoc olive oil, a French olive oil of the Amellau, Cailletier, Grossane, Lucques, Négrette, Tanche, Verdale from the Bouches-du-Rhône...
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Sift the ground almonds and ground hazelnuts.
- Add all the ingredients and mix until you have a smooth, firm dough.
- Shape the dough into small balls (about the size of a walnut) and place them on a sheet of baking paper on a baking tray. Flatten the dough balls slightly.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes (until the biscuits are golden brown).
- Tip: you can add black or green olives (which you should first pit and chop into pieces).

We recommend...
For this recipe, choose a PDO huile d'olive de Nyons (subtle taste) for its notes of dried fruit and buttery flavour, possibly accompanied by hints of fresh hazelnuts and/or freshly cut grass.
