CITRUS MARINATED OLIVES

This is great as an appetizer or to take along on a picnic, the flavors really meld together well. The green olives really shine with the citrus flavor, so I use 2 cups green olives and 1 cup Kalamata olives. I double the garlic, orange peel and add 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme. The cooking time is the marinading time. This is adpated from Bon Appetit magazine, July 2000.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups olives, such as Castelvetrano, Cerignola and Kalamata
1/2 tangerine, sliced and cut into quarters
4 strips lemon zest
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 large sprigs thyme
2 large sprigs oregano
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Blanch the olives for about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the olives to a medium bowl. Toss with the tangerine pieces and lemon zest.
  • In a small skillet, combine the olive oil, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, garlic and red pepper flakes. Warm gently over medium heat until small bubbles form around the herbs and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer gently until the garlic is beginning to brown and the bubbles start to subside, about 7 minutes. Pour the hot oil over the olive mixture and toss well to coat.
  • Allow the olives to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days; warm gently before serving.
