Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 This, is by far, one of my most requested recipes, and one of my most favorite snacks. The combination of flavors in these is unlike any other I've ever tried, and they are extremely tasty. You can use almost any combination of olives you prefer. I normally use whatever interests me at the grocery store - this time, I used some jalapeno-stuffed green olives, some kalamatas, and some plain black and small green olives. The other key ingredient to these is good quality olive oil. I once used an off brand, and it almost ruined them. Check out the finished product at http://28cooks.blogspot.com Marinated Olives 1/2 c fresh tarragon, minced 1/4 c fresh thyme, leaves only, minced 4 c olives, mixed varieties 1 c good quality light-tasting olive oil 1/2 c fennel bulb, thinly sliced (sometimes called anise) 2 tbsp minced onions 2 tbsp minced garlic 1 tbsp anise seed 2 tsp fennel seeds 2 tsp dried basil 1 tsp black pepper Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. These really should marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24-48 hours before enjoying. Enjoy! Christiane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
