Best 3 Garlic Marinated Olives Recipes

GARLIC MARINATED OLIVES

Steps:

• Split olives slightly and place in large jar with remaining ingredients.
• Cover tightly & shake.
• Refrigerate at least 24 hours. To serve, remove olives with slotted spoon.

OLIVES MARINATED IN THYME AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Crack the raw olives with a hammer or rolling pin against a wooden chopping board and place in a large bowl or bucket. Soak the olives in water to cover for at least 1 week. Make sure you change the water everyday. This is to remove the bitterness of the olives. Once the olives have soaked for a week, strain the water and add clean fresh water to the bowl. Add the salt, garlic cloves, thyme, bay leaves and optional wild fennel. Mix well. Place all the solid ingredients (herbs and olives) into an airtight glass or ceramic jar. Pour in enough of the salted water to cover the olives. Close the jar and ensure it is airtight. Store in a cool dry place for at least 2 weeks before eating your first olive. Serve with drinks.

MARINATED FETA CHEESE WITH ORANGE, GREEN OLIVES, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Cook 1 cup of the oil, the garlic, oregano, orange zest, and pepper flakes in a small saucepan over low heat until the garlic is softened, about 18 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently stir in the feta and olives. Cover and let sit until the mixture reaches room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup oil and serve. (The mixture can be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 1 week. Before serving, let sit at room temperature until the oil liquefies about 1 hour.).
