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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the mixed olives under cold water to remove excess brine.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk until emulsified.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Step 4
Add the rinsed olives to the herb and oil mixture. Toss well to ensure the olives are evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate overnight.
Step 7
Before serving, allow the olives to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Step 8
Serve as an appetizer or as a part of a keto-friendly charcuterie board.
