Marinated Spanish Olives

Ingredients

1 lb large olives with pimento (alternatively you my use large green olives with pits) drained and rinsed well.
2 lemon wedges 2-3 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
6-8 garlic cloves, crushed
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
dash of kosher salt and black pepper
1 tsp cumin seeds or ground cumin
1 tsp fennel seeds

These olives are a staple of Spanish tapas bars. The longer they marinate, the better.

  • Rinse and drain the olives, then add to a large mason jar.
  • Add all of the other ingredients and enough water to cover the olives.
  • Cover and shake the jar well, then place in the refrigerator for several weeks before using, however the longer they marinate the better.
  • The olives will keep for months refrigerated.
