A delightful and easy-to-make appetizer featuring marinated olives with a zesty herb twist.
Lightly crush the olives to release their flavors, being careful not to break them.
Crushing the olives allows the marinade to penetrate better, enhancing the flavor.
Place the olives into a clean glass jar with a lid.
Ensure the jar is clean and dry to avoid contamination.
Add the garlic, dried oregano, and chili flakes to the jar.
Distribute the seasonings evenly for a balanced flavor.
Pour in the red wine vinegar and lemon juice, ensuring the olives are fully submerged.
If needed, add more vinegar to completely cover the olives.
Seal the jar tightly and shake gently to mix the ingredients.
Shaking helps to evenly distribute the marinade and seasonings.
Store the jar at room temperature for 2-3 days, shaking occasionally.
The longer the olives marinate, the more intense the flavor will be.
Serve the marinated olives in a bowl, garnished with a sprig of fresh herbs if desired.
Serve at room temperature for the best taste.
