Marinated olives are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack that can add a burst of flavor to any meal or gathering. By infusing olives with garlic, chili peppers, rosemary, and a blend of olive oil and vinegar, you create a savory and zesty treat that is sure to impress your guests. Here's a simple recipe to help you make your own marinated olives at home.
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, sliced red hot chili peppers, and chopped rosemary. Mix well to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
- Add the olives to the marinade mixture. Gently stir or toss the olives until they are well-coated with the oil and seasoning blend.
- Pour the vinegar over the olives and give the mixture one final stir to make sure the vinegar is evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together. For best results, let the olives marinate overnight or up to 24 hours.
- Before serving, allow the olives to come to room temperature. This helps enhance the flavors. You may wish to give them a gentle stir once more.
- Store any leftover marinated olives in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Choose a Mix of Olive Varieties: Using a combination of green and black olives can add depth and variety to your marinated olives.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic, chili peppers, and rosemary will impart the best flavor.
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili pepper or remove the seeds before adding them.
- Allow Time to Marinate: For the best flavor, let the olives marinate for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator before serving.
- Store Properly: Keep your marinated olives in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last for up to two weeks.
