2 cups large green olives with pits, such as Cerignola (11 ounces)
2 cups large black olives with pits, such as Kalamata (11 ounces)
Zest of 1 orange, peeled in large strips

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Drain the green and black olives from the brine or oil that they're packed in and place them in a medium bowl. Add the orange zest, garlic, fennel seeds, thyme leaves, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pour the olive oil over the mixture, add the thyme sprigs, and toss to combine.

Offer a small dish for the pits.
