Many grocery stores now carry bulk olives. I buy large bulk green olives, with pits, and dress them up with this flavor-packed marinade. It's a wonderful appetizer during the summer when fresh herbs are plentiful. Serve with wine and cheese for a wonderful summertime appetizer. Ingredients:
2 cups green olives, large size, drained |
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced |
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh |
fresh ground pepper |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
fresh lemon zest (from one lemon) |
Directions:
1. In a food processor or blender, mix all the herbs, garlic and lemon juice. Slowly add olive oil and blend. Add zest.
2. Pour marinade over olives. They can be served immediately but will improve with a day to marinate.
