Orange, Fennel and Garlic Marinated Olives
These Orange, Fennel and Garlic Marinated Olives are the ultimate addition to a cheese tray and the perfect snack recipe since they’re ready in just a matter of minutes and can be stored in the fridge for last minute snack-attacks.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 1 1/2 cups 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups mixed unpitted olives
- 1/4 cup thinly shaved fennel
- 1 small clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 4 thin slices fresh ginger
- 2 (4-inch) strips fresh orange peel (removed with a vegetable peeler)
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Drain and rinse olives to remove brine; set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together all remaining ingredients.
- Add the olives to the oil mixture. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 2 hours or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Let olives come to room temperature before serving as the olive oil will thicken in the fridge.
Notes
My favorite mix of olives is a 10 ounce tub at Trader Joe’s in the refrigerated section. Or, check out the olive bar at your local grocery store for a custom mix.
