Marinated Olives

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Olives

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed olives. Make sure to use a variety of olives for a richer taste.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic Oil

    Pour the garlic oil over the olives. Use a spoon to gently mix the olives, ensuring they are fully coated in the oil.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Orange Zest

    Add the orange zest to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure the zest is evenly distributed among the olives.

  4. 4

    Add Chives

    Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

  5. 5

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    After marinating, stir the olives again before serving. They can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or as part of a charcuterie board.
