Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Toast the Fennel Seeds

    In a small, dry skillet over medium heat, add the fennel seeds. Toast them for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Olives

    In a mixing bowl, combine the Castelvetrano olives, cooled toasted fennel seeds, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss gently to coat the olives evenly with the oil and spices.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Transfer the seasoned olives to a serving dish. Enjoy as a delicious appetizer or snack!
