Marinated Green Olives (Tapas)

Submitted by januarybride

"Recipe from Ryland, Peters, and Small's Tapas Cookbook. These olives need to marinate at room temperature for 6 days prior to serving, so plan ahead. They make a wonderful appetizer for any party and are perfect gifts around the holidays (put them in pretty square glass jars that you find at craft stores)!"

I feel like I have wrapped a gift for myself and I can't wait to open it! I made these using Manzanilla olives and fresh herbs and an orange from my garden. Now the problem is going to be waiting the 6 days until I can try them. I'll be taking them on a trip to our family cabin, and I appreciate that these will not be occupying valuable fridge space!

I just loved all the flavors in this! I used olives stuffed with pimientos. Great taste! Thanks!
