Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients to a small pot over medium heat. When the oil starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low. Continue to simmer the olives for 10 minutes, stirring the pot occasionally.
  2. Strain the olives and almonds through a fine mesh sieve. Reserve the oil to cook with or to serve as a dipping oil for some bread.

Notes

  • Marcona almonds are not widely available and can be pricey. Blanched almonds make a good substitute in this recipe.
  • We love using Gordal olives in this recipe. They are what you see in the pictures.
