Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the marinade

    In a small saucepan, combine olive oil, garlic, orange zest, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes, fennel seeds, and black peppercorns. Heat over low heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to brown the garlic.

  2. 2

    Marinate the olives

    Place the mixed olives in a mixing bowl. Pour the warm marinade over the olives and stir well to coat evenly. Let the olives sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to a week for deeper flavor.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Bring the olives to room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to shine.
