Ingredients

8 servings

1 1/2 pounds olives {your choice what olives you use}
3 bay leaves
3 garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh fennel seeds (gently crushed)
2 teaspoons coriander seeds (lightly cracked)
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns (lightly cracked)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (minced)
Zest of ½ lemon (cut into thin slivers)
Juice of 1/2 of a lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Method

1
Combine all ingredients in large heavy-duty resealable ziplock plastic bag or a plastic container with a lid.
2
Shake to blend ingredients.
3
Refrigerate at least 1 day and up to 3 days, shaking or turning the bag a couple times a day.
4
Transfer olives and some marinade to a small bowl and let stand for 1 hour at room temperature before serving.

Notes

Store the olives in a mason jar or an airtight container for up to two weeks. Olive oil solidifies when chilled. Make sure to let them come to room temp so the oil returns to liquid and flavors shine.
