Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 1 small orange or clementine
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 2 cloves garlic smashed and peeled
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 small dried red chili pepper
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups assorted green and black olives
- ¼ cup olive brine
Notes
- Swap out the orange and lemon for two Meyer lemons instead if you can find them. They have incredible flavor!
- You can use either thyme or rosemary or both. If only dry herbs are available, use ¼ teaspoon of each.
- I prefer mostly green olives for this mix, but any variety will work. My favorites are are cerignola, castelvetrano and lucque - just use high quality olives, with the pit if possible.
