Marrakech-Style Green Olives

Marrakech-Style Green Olives

Picholine or Lucques olives originate in France but are commonly used in Morocco to make olive oil. They are excellent cocktail olives but can be hard to find here. Any large green pitted olive can be substituted in this recipe.

Ingredients


Serves 4

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1⁄2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1⁄4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1⁄4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 3⁄4 cups (about 250 g) pitted Picholine or other large green olives

Directions

Sauté Spices And Assemble

  2. Remove from heat, pour spiced oil over olives and toss to combine. Serve at room temperature.
