Olives and Marinade
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Marinade
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, red pepper flakes, black peppercorns, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the Olives
Add the mixed olives to the marinade and stir until the olives are well coated with the mixture.
Marinate
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the olives and marinade to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Let the olives marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for the best flavor.
Serve
Once marinated, serve the olives at room temperature as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
