Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Olives

    Rinse the Castelvetrano olives under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Smoker

    Set your smoker to a temperature of 225°F (107°C) using your preferred wood chips for smoking.

  3. 3

    Mix the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and sea salt. Stir well to create a marinade.

  4. 4

    Marinate the Olives

    Add the olives to the marinade and gently toss to coat them evenly. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Smoke the Olives

    Place the marinated olives in a smoker-safe tray or basket. Smoke the olives for about 30-45 minutes, or until they are infused with a smoky flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the olives from the smoker and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack.
