Marinated Olives

If you are an olive lover then you have to make these and add them to your table next time you have people over. The addition of the aromats was sensational. Everyone enjoyed every olive they ate with handmade focaccia and my white bean dip.

Marinated Olives

Cooking Time: 15 minutes | Serves: 2-4 people

Ingredients:

 

  • 2 cups of mixed olives such as kalamata, Sicilian, and green olives – drained and rinsed

  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 strips of lemon rind

    Method:

    1. Place a medium pan on low heat and toast coriander seeds, stirring for 1 minute.
