Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed olives
- 1 whole lemon
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves fresh garlic cloves
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon black peppercorns
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the mixed olives under cold water to remove excess brine. Drain them well and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Zest the lemon using a microplane or fine grater, making sure to avoid the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside.
Step 3
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl with the olives.
Step 4
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them lightly with the flat side of a knife to release their flavor. Add them to the bowl.
Step 5
Strip the rosemary and thyme leaves from their stems and finely chop the leaves. Add the herbs to the olive mixture.
Step 6
Pour extra virgin olive oil over the olives, add the lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and black peppercorns. Stir well to coat all of the olives evenly.
Step 7
Refrigerate the marinated olives in an airtight container for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor infusion.
Step 8
Serve the lemon herb marinated olives at room temperature for optimal taste.
