Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 19.4 ounce jar whole green olives with the pitts still in them (19.4 ounce jar, 12.34 ounces drained)
- 3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- a sprinkle Maldon salt
- a sprinkle ground black pepper
- optional fresh oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Drain the jar of olives and pour them into an oven-safe ceramic dish. My dish is 7.5 inch wide and 2 inches deep. You'll want most of your olives to be in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, but they don't need to be fully covered in it.
- Top the olives in the dish with 1/2 cup olive oil and 3 Tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Mix.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Mix the olives again.
- Top the olives with a sprinkle of Maldon salt, black pepper, and fresh oregano.
- Serve with sliced toasted baguette or bread of choice.
Notes
- Make sure your olives have pits in them.
- Make sure your jar is roughly 19.5 ounces ( 12.5 ounces drained).
- How to serve: serve warm with sliced and toasted bread. Baguette or Ciabatta bread works great here. Serve with toothpicks.
- How to store: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
