Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed olives (pitted or with pits)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest (freshly grated)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (freshly grated)
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the olives in cold water if they are overly salty, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat.
Add the rosemary sprigs and sliced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the orange zest, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 30 seconds to release the aromas.
Add the olives to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the flavored oil.
Sprinkle the olives with salt and black pepper, then gently heat them for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are warmed through.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the warm olives to a serving dish. Pour any leftover oil and aromatics over the olives for extra flavor.
Serve immediately with toothpicks or crusty bread for dipping.
