Citrus Marinated Olives

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the imported olives, citrus peel (both orange and lemon), chili flakes, sliced garlic, and salt. Make sure to mix well to ensure the olives are evenly coated with the seasonings.

  2. 2

    Add Olive Oil

    Pour the olive oil over the mixed olives and citrus peel. Stir gently to coat all the ingredients in the oil.

  3. 3

    Add Fresh Herbs

    If using, add the fresh thyme to the olive mixture. This will enhance the flavor of the marinade.

  4. 4

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid. Let the olives marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve

    After marinating, serve the olives in a bowl as an appetizer or snack. Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top if desired and enjoy!
