Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Olives

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the green olives, black olives, and Kalamata olives. Use a wooden spoon to gently mix them together.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Peel and thinly slice the fresh garlic cloves. Add the sliced garlic to the mixed olives.

  3. 3

    Add Herbs and Spices

    Chop the fresh rosemary leaves finely and add them to the bowl. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes and lemon zest over the olives.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Pour the olive oil over the olive mixture, ensuring all olives are coated.

  5. 5

    Season

    Add salt to taste, mixing well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

  6. 6

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the olives marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

  7. 7

    Serve

    After marinating, give the olives a final stir and transfer them to a serving dish. Enjoy as an appetizer or snack.
