Background

I always make my own marinated olives - not only is it much cheaper (and super easy) to do, but I can control what goes in the marinade. These vegan mixed olives with lemon and dill are really tasty and zingy. Perfect for parties or as an appetizer with aperitif all year round.

Ingredients

1 cup of drained green olives from a jar (pitted)
1 cup of drained black olives from a jar (pitted)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
½ lemon
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
Salt & pepper

Instructions

Put the olives in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the lemon into 1 cm thick rings, then into small wedges. Add these to the olives.
Add the garlic, vinegar, olives oil and oregano. Season to taste, then mix well. Marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours, overnight if possible.
Taste it and adjust the seasoning, oil or vinegar to your liking.
Mix in the chopped dill 10 minutes before serving.
