Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Mixed olives
- 1 lemon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Rinse the mixed olives under cold water to remove excess brine and drain them well using a colander.
In a large mixing bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, chopped parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the mixture and stir well to combine.
Add the drained olives to the herb and lemon mixture and gently toss to ensure they are well coated.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste, mixing gently once more.
Transfer the marinated olives to an airtight container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld, or overnight for a more intense flavor.
Before serving, allow the olives to come to room temperature, then transfer to a serving dish.
