Warm Marinated Olives
Report
Easy, sophisticated, fragrant and comforting, a warm dish of olives is the perfect small bite with an aperitif or as part of a larger grazing board. Mixed olives, citrus zest, herbs and spices come together to make this Italian happy hour favourite. This is easily multiplied for a larger party or cut in half to serve 2.
