Notes

  • You don't have to stick to Spanish flavours. Why not use Mexican or Italian herbs and spices instead.
  • These olives will keep in an air tight jar in the fridge for around 2 weeks.
  • Serve at any tapas dinner party or with a simple grilled chicken or salmon dish.
  • Bulk this dish out a little and transform them by adding some skinned almonds.
  • You can use any olives you like, but we like using big meaty green olives.
  • Try to use the best quality olive oil you can buy, as you really will be able to taste the difference.
