Ingredients:

1 cup olives
230g
1/2 cup almonds
60g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1/2 lemon
55g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- 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.
2. Toast Almonds:
- 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.
3. Sauté Aromatics:
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Add the sliced garlic and chili peppers. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the chili peppers start to soften. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Combine and Warm:
- 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.
5. Finish and Serve:
- 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.
6. Serve:
- 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.
