1
Prepare the Olives
In a medium bowl, combine the green and black Spanish olives. If using whole olives, you may want to slightly crush them to release more flavor.
2
Add Aromatics
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the olives. Then, sprinkle the red pepper flakes and fresh oregano over the olives.
3
Create the Marinade
In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, black peppercorns, and lemon zest. Whisk until well combined.
4
Combine and Marinate
Pour the marinade over the olives and toss gently to coat all the ingredients. Ensure all olives are submerged in the marinade.
5
Marinate
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the olives to a jar with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but ideally overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Serve
Before serving, bring the marinated olives to room temperature. Serve in a small dish or bowl as a delightful bar snack.
