Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Mixed olives (green and black, pitted if desired)
- 80 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 40 milliliters Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Rinse the mixed olives under cold water to remove excess brine.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk until emulsified.
Add the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Add the rinsed olives to the herb and oil mixture. Toss well to ensure the olives are evenly coated with the marinade.
Transfer the marinated olives into a glass jar or an airtight container. Ensure the olives are submerged in the marinade. If necessary, add a little more olive oil to cover.
Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate overnight.
Before serving, allow the olives to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Serve as an appetizer or as a part of a keto-friendly charcuterie board.
