Olive Mixture

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Olives

    In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed olives, smashed garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, red pepper flakes, and black peppercorns.

  2. 2

    Heat the Mixture

    Pour the olive oil over the olive mixture and heat gently over low heat. Allow to warm for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, ensuring the olives do not boil.

  3. 3

    Add Lemon Zest

    Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Serve Warm

    Transfer the warm olives to a serving dish and serve immediately, drizzling some of the warm olive oil over the top.
