Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup good olive oil
20 large green olives
20 almonds, roasted
2 whole cloves garlic, peeled
1 branch fresh rosemary
1 orange

Steps:

  • Stuff whole roasted almonds into the cavity of the green olives. Using a vegetable peeler, peel one long piece of rind from the orange. Save orange for another purpose. In a saute pan, heat olive oil on low. Toss in garlic, rosemary, orange rind and olives. When warmed, pour all ingredients into a dish and serve with toothpicks.

Tips:

  • Select the right olives. Choose olives with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid olives with wrinkles or bruises.
  • Make sure the olives are pitted. You can either buy olives that are already pitted or you can pit them yourself using an olive pitter.
  • Use a variety of ingredients for the marinade. This will give the olives a more complex flavor. Some good ingredients to use include olive oil, herbs, spices, and citrus zest.
  • Let the olives marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight. The longer the olives marinate, the more flavorful they will be.
  • Serve the olives as an appetizer or snack. They can also be used in salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.
