Cup of Yum
Notes
- I let the olives marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. The longer they marinate, the more flavourful they will become
- You can bulk these out a little by adding some skinned almonds.
- Try to use the best quality olive oil you can, as you really will be able to taste the difference.
- These make a really nice gift if you are going to a dinner party too. Put them in a nice jar with some ribbon wrapped round it.
- Always use pitted olives, as they make it much easier to eat.
- Jarred olives are already quite salty, so there is no need to season this recipe.
