Total Time

Background
You can combine these marinated mixed olives with sundried tomatoes in less than 10 minutes - for the fraction of the price of mixed olives sold in delis and supermarkets. Serve them as nibbles with a glass of vino or add them to salads, pasta dishes, pizzas, pastry, scones, bread and so on. They keep well on the fridge for several weeks.
