Marinated Olives
This zesty marinade makes tangy green olives even more flavorful. The longer you leave them in the marinade, the more intense the olives become. Use within one week.
Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups good quality green olives
3 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as thyme, oregano, basil, marjoram, sage and/or chives)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried crumbled
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 teaspoon hot or sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon salt
Fresh bay leaves
Lemon peel
COLAVITA Extra Virgin Olive Oil.


Preparation:


Place olives in medium bowl. Add garlic, mixed herbs, rosemary, fennel seeds, paprika, peppercorns, salt and red pepper flakes and mix well. Pack olives into glass jar with tight-fitting lid, layering them with bay leaves. Add lemon peel, then enough olive oil to cover olives. Tightly cover jar and refrigerate at least 4 days, shaking occasionally.
