Green Olives with Lemon, Fennel and Garlic

Adapted from Lemon Zest by Lori Longbotham.

  • 2 cups cracked green Mediterranean olives
  • 6 thin lemon slices, seeded
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed with the side of a knife
  • Dscn15132 tablespoons Lemon Oil (click here for the recipe)
  • 1 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  1. Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Refrigerate (covered or in a container with a lid) for at least 1 day.
  3. Serve at room temperature.

Note:  This will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The original recipe used coriander seeds but I’m not a huge fan so I used fennel.
