Once you've cured your olives (or bought some from your local olive purveyor), here's a way to make them very tasty.
Servings: 6
1 Pound Greek or Italian Olives
2 Cloves Garlic (large)
1 Orange Rind, orange part only, cut in strips
1 Orange, juiced
4 Lemon Rinds, yellow part only, cut in strips
4 Lemons, juiced
1 Star Anise
A few fresh grinds of dried chilies (optional)
- If olives are packed in brine, rinse well. Taste one; if still briny (too salty), soak in clear cold water for 1 hour.
- Place olives in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Add rinds, garlic and star anise.
- Add juice from the orange and 4 lemons.
- Add sufficient water to cover olives.
- Stir to mix.
- Let stand for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- Serve in a Double Dish.
