Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Olives

    Rinse the green and black olives under cold water to remove any brine or excess salt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Chop Garlic and Herbs

    Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. If using fresh herbs, rinse them under cold water, shake off excess moisture, and finely chop.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the rinsed olives, chopped garlic, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.

  2. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Add red chili flakes, salt, and pepper to the olive mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Marinating

  1. 5

    Let it Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the olives marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
