Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed olives (green and black, pitted or unpitted)
- 0.25 cups Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Rinse the olives under cold water and drain well. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, orange zest, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes, coriander seeds, paprika, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Add the olives to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Transfer the olives and marinade to a glass jar or airtight container. Ensure the olives are fully submerged in the marinade. Add a bit more olive oil if necessary to cover.
Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Stir or shake the container occasionally to redistribute the marinade.
Before serving, allow the olives to come to room temperature for the best flavor. Serve as part of a tapas spread or as a standalone appetizer.
