Ingredients:

Serving

1 pint good green olives (or both mixed) or 1 pint black olives (or both mixed)
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black peppercorns
3 bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/2 tsp fennel seed, lightly crushed
4 -5 garlic cloves, cut in half lengthwise
1 pinch dried red pepper flakes (optional)
2 medium lemons
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

If using brine-packed olives, drain them.
If you wish, you may whack them with a (clean) hammer or rolling pin to crack them so the seasonings penetrate further.
In a medium bowl, combine the olives, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, herb sprigs, fennel seeds, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Zest the lemons in whatever size zest you like: a mix of finely grated zest for the brightest flavor and larger strips for color is nice.
Add the zest and oil to the olives and mix well. Pour and scrape into a covered jar and refrigerate for 12-24 hours to let the flavors mingle.
