Mediterranean Olives

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed olives, crushed garlic cloves, chopped fresh rosemary, and lemon zest.

  2. 2

    Add Olive Oil

    Pour the olive oil over the olive mixture. Stir gently to ensure all the ingredients are well coated with the oil.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust to your preference.

  4. 4

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the olives marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. For best flavor, marinate in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

  5. 5

    Serve

    After marinating, serve the olives in a bowl as an appetizer or a part of a Mediterranean platter.
