Olives

Marinade

Method

Preparation of Olives

  1. 1

    Combine the Olives

    In a large mixing bowl, combine Castelvetrano, Nicoise, Picholine, and Gaeta olives. Stir gently to mix the different types of olives without bruising them.

Marinade Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, orange juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, fresh rosemary, and fennel pollen until well combined.

Marinating the Olives

  1. 3

    Combine Olives and Marinade

    Pour the marinade over the combined olives in the large mixing bowl. Toss gently to ensure all olives are evenly coated with the marinade.

  2. 4

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the olives and marinade to an airtight container. Allow the olives to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for more flavor.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Before serving, let the marinated olives sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Serve them in a bowl as an appetizer or part of a mezze platter.
