Ingredients
Olive Selection
Brine Mixture
Preparation of Olives
1. Clean the Olives
Rinse the green and black olives under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
2. Prepare the Brine
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, salt, and vinegar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the salt is fully dissolved.
3. Add Flavorings
Once the salt is dissolved, add the crushed garlic cloves, dried oregano, dried thyme, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes to the brine mixture. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
4. Cool the Brine
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the brine to cool to room temperature.
Brining the Olives
5. Combine Olives and Brine
In a large glass jar or container, place the rinsed olives. Pour the cooled brine mixture over the olives until they are completely submerged.
6. Seal and Store
Seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator. Allow the olives to marinate in the brine for at least 1 week for the best flavor.
7. Serve
After a week, your olives are ready to be served! Enjoy them as a snack, in salads, or as part of a charcuterie board.
