Orange Marinated Black Olives

Olives are very bitter, so it is necessary to marinate them to get rid of the bitterness. First, we have to wash them in water changing the water several times for a period of several days. This marinade has orange as the main ingredient.


If you don't buy fresh olives. You don't have to worry. However, when you buy plain olives in a jar they have a high content of sodium, and to get rid off the salt you have to do the same. Wash them and keep them in water over night, changing the water a couple of times.


Ingredients:


1 Jar of Plain Black Olives
4 Garlic Cloves
2 Thyme Sprigs
1 Rosemary Sprig
Orange Peel
Fresh Orange Juice to cover the olives


Peel and crush the garlic, add the orange juice, thyme, rosemary and orange peel. Add the olives to the original emptied jar, add the mix in layers and close the jar. Keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of days.


Serve in a bowl with the liquid and add orange zest.
