Olives

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, orange zest, fresh thyme, garlic cloves, cinnamon stick, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add the Olives

    Add the mixed olives to the marinade. Stir gently to ensure the olives are well-coated with the marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the olives and marinade to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the olives to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for the best flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve with Feta

    When ready to serve, crumble the sheep's milk feta over the marinated olives and serve as an appetizer or snack.
