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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the olives in cold water if they are overly salty, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the olives to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the flavored oil.

Step 6

Sprinkle the olives with salt and black pepper, then gently heat them for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are warmed through.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve immediately with toothpicks or crusty bread for dipping.
