How to Make Moroccan Herbed Olives

  1. Rinse 1 pound of olives under cold running water.
  2. Drain the olives thoroughly.
  3. Place the olives in a sterilized 1-quart jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
  5. Pour the herb mixture over the olives in the jar.
  6. Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate, turning the jar upside down occasionally for 1 to 2 weeks to ensure even flavor distribution.
  7. Before serving, allow the olives to come to room temperature for the best flavor experience.
  8. Store leftover olives in the refrigerator. They will keep for several weeks.
