Lemon, Thyme and Garlic Marinated Olives

Plump green Sicilian olives are marinated in lemon zest and juice, garlic and thyme for a totally addictive and delicious treat.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Sicilian olives
• peel and juice of 1 lemon
• 1 clove of garlic (chopped)
• 3 tbs good extra virgin olive oil
• pinch of sea salt (smoked sea salt is great here)
• a few sprigs of thyme

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Drain the olives to remove the brine they come in and give them a quick rinse.
2. 2Grab a dish that is large enough to fit the olives in a single layer. Toss all of the ingredients together in the dish, cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight.
3. 3Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving so that the oil can liquefy again.
