Marinated Olives
Method
Preparation and marination
- 1
Drain and rinse the olives if they are packed in brine, then pat dry with clean towels.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine Kalamata olives and green olives.
- 4
Pour the marinade over the olives and toss to coat evenly. Let the olives rest for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- 5
Transfer olives and marinade to a non-reactive container or jar. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours (or overnight for intensified flavor).
- 6
Before serving, bring olives to room temperature, taste, and adjust seasoning if desired with a pinch more salt or lemon juice.
- 7
Serve as a tapas-style snack or as an accompaniment to cheese boards.
