Ingredients:

1 cup olives
230g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Olives:
- Rinse 1 cup of mixed green and black olives under cold water to remove any brine. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Marinade Preparation:
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme, 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Add 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
3. Marinate the Olives:
- Add the olives to the bowl containing the marinade. Stir until all the olives are evenly coated with the marinade.
4. Resting Time:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the olives to an airtight container. Place the marinated olives in the refrigerator and let them marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
5. Serving:
- Before serving, allow the marinated olives to come to room temperature to enhance their flavors. Stir the olives once more to distribute the marinade evenly.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve as an appetizer, snack, or as part of a charcuterie board.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use high-quality, fresh ingredients.

- Let the olives marinate for at least a few hours, or even overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or oregano, to create a unique flavor profile.

- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

- Serve the marinated olives with crusty bread or crackers for a simple yet elegant appetizer.
