A delightful appetizer of marinated olives infused with aromatic herbs and citrus.
Combine the green and black olives in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the olives are pitted for easier consumption.
Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and lemon slices to the bowl.
Crush the garlic slightly to release its flavor.
Pour in the olive oil and vinegar, and mix well.
Use high-quality olive oil for the best taste.
Transfer the mixture to a sterilized jar and seal tightly.
Ensure the jar is clean to prevent contamination.
Refrigerate the jar for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake the jar occasionally to distribute the marinade evenly.
Bring the olives to room temperature before serving.
Serve with toothpicks for easy snacking.
