How to Make Garlic Olives

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
  2. Add 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives (or your favorite olives) to the bowl and gently toss to ensure they are fully coated with the garlic-herb oil.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or for up to two weeks to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. The longer they marinate, the more intense the flavor will become!
  4. Serve chilled and enjoy! These olives are delicious on their own or as part of a larger appetizer spread.
