Kevin’s Mediterranean Olives

From Kevin McKenna

Kevin brings a jar of these about once a year – that isn’t nearly often enough!

Ingredients:

• 15 oz pitted green olives

• ¼ cup chopped fresh oregano

• 6 cloves garlic, slivered

• 1 lemon, coarsely chopped

• ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 tsp crushed red pepper

Equipment:

• A mixing bowl and wooden spoon.

• A jar to store them in.

To prepare:

1. Drain the olives and rinse if they are briny.

2. Combine all ingredients and mix well.

3. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

Serving Suggestions

• The long, thin white olive tray in the snug was a donation from Kevin to ensure that his creation is properly served.

• Stored in an attractive jar, these make a nice gift for your gourmand friends.
