Herb & Garlic Marinated Olives
Description
The Herb & Garlic Marinated Olives recipe starts with a mix of pitted olives rinsed and drained. These olives are combined with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme and oregano sprigs, and crushed red pepper flakes. The mixture is stirred to coat the olives thoroughly, then covered and refrigerated for at least one day and up to three. This marination allows the herbs and garlic to impart flavor to the olives, softening and enriching their natural taste.
The finished olives have a savory, herbaceous profile highlighted by the fresh garlic and thyme. The olive oil acts as a flavorful medium, while the subtle heat from the red pepper flakes adds complexity. This preparation method enhances the olives without overpowering their natural character.
These marinated olives can be served chilled or at room temperature. They make an appealing appetizer or addition to antipasto platters and salads. Their herb and garlic infusion suits Mediterranean-style menus and casual snacking occasions.
