Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the olives under cold water to remove any excess brine. Drain well and set aside.
- Thinly slice the red hot chili peppers and garlic cloves.
- Zest the lemon and then cut it in half. Juice half of the lemon and set aside.
- In a dry skillet or pan, toast the almonds over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Once toasted, remove the almonds from the pan and set aside.

- Add the olives to the skillet and gently stir to combine them with the garlic and chili peppers.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the olives are warmed through.
- Add the toasted almonds to the skillet and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
- Drizzle with the lemon juice and sprinkle with the lemon zest.
- Give everything a final gentle toss to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Transfer the warm mixed chili olives and almonds to a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately as an appetizer or a side dish.
Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary during cooking.
- Ensure the garlic slices are thin to avoid any overpowering bites.
- If you're sensitive to heat, feel free to adjust the amount of chili peppers to your preference.
- Toasting the almonds before adding them to the mix will enhance their natural flavor and add extra crunch.
- Serve warm for the best experience, but this dish can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
