Olives

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Olives

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed olives. If using whole olives, you can leave them as is or slice them in half for better flavor absorption.

Prepare the Marinade

  1. 2

    Mix the Marinade

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Marinating Process

  1. 3

    Combine and Marinate

    Pour the marinade over the olives in the mixing bowl. Stir gently to ensure that all olives are coated evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the olives to a jar with a tight-fitting lid.

  2. 4

    Refrigerate

    Let the olives marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. They can be left for up to a week for more intense flavor.
