Coming from a family of olive-enthusiasts (as children we even received olives in our stockings) I found this recipe quite pleasing and easy to put together. I did take other reviewers' suggestions and added garlic & lemon zest. I will make again and plan on passing the recipe to my brothers. Cheers! Read More

I tweaked this recipe a bit but the basic concept is a good one. I added rosemary garlic lemon zest red pepper flakes kosher salt and a coating of good olive oil. Let them sit overnight to let the flavors meld. Bet you can't eat just one! Read More

Good Start - but so much more potential! I combine the olives bay leaves sprig of rosemary (dried didn't work so well for me!) lemon peel juice of lemon capers red pepper flakes and a little rice vinegar. Throw it in the fridge and forget about it. I left it for 2 weeks then could not pop these in my mouth fast enough in fact I did not even share! Then I took the left overs and put in food processor for a FABULOUS Tapenade!!! Even try with some anchovies for a pop of flavor. WOW! Read More
