🌱 Tom: yes🛡️ Paddy: yes
Safe for both Tom and Paddy as written.
INGREDIENTS
  • 1.2–1.5kg good mixed olives (a mix of green and kalamata is nice), drained
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • Zest of 2 lemons + 1 orange
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 tbsp chilli flakes
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs
METHOD
  1. Warm the olive oil gently in a saucepan with the garlic, citrus zest, chilli and herbs for about 5 minutes — don't let it fry, just infuse.
  2. Pour over the olives, toss, and let sit at room temperature for at least an hour (or make a day ahead and refrigerate, bringing back to room temp before serving).
Note — Buy more than you think — they get demolished at parties.
