Olives Preparation

Method

Olives Assembly and Marination

  1. 1

    Prepare the Olives

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the green olives and black olives.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Peel and smash the garlic cloves slightly with the flat side of a knife. Add them to the bowl with the olives.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Herbs and Spices

    Add the fresh rosemary sprigs and red pepper flakes to the olives. Toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Mix the Marinade

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  5. 5

    Combine Everything

    Pour the marinade over the olive mixture in the large bowl. Stir well to ensure all olives are coated.

  6. 6

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once marinated, serve the olives in a decorative dish. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired and garnish with extra rosemary.
