Ingredients

  • 3 cups plain unpitted olives
  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic sliced thinly
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 lemon
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 Tbsps red wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Drain olives and reserve olives in the jar.
  • Zest the lemon. Take about 3 slices of lemon and cut into tiny pieces ensuring there is no pith.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet and add garlic slices. After a minute or so when garlic just starts to turn colour, add the remaining ingredients. Heat for about 1 more minute.
  • Remove from heat and pour over the olives in the jar.
  • These are best served warm but you can also serve at room temperature. If necessary reheat olives gently in the microwave until just warm.
