Greek Marinated Olives

After messing up this Greek Style Marinated Mushrooms - I stated olives first instead of mushrooms- I had to look for a marinated olives recipe too. I've found it at taste.com.au.Time does not include refrigerating time.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Use a zester to remove the rind from lemon.
