This Spanish tapas recipe transforms good quality olives with a vibrant marinade. Sliced garlic, julienned orange and lemon zest, fennel seeds, and fresh rosemary infuse the olives with aromatic, spicy, and fruity notes. The mixture is combined with olive oil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes, then left to marinate for a full day to develop its complex flavours. It yields eight servings and is wonderfully simple to prepare.
