Anyway, he came back and brought me some olives. They're dirt cheap over there. Now these were packaed in aitight plastic packaging. Nothing less attractive than vacuum sealed transparent plastic fod bags. Ugh. But I knew when I saw those olvied in the packet, they were going to be good.
Boy was I right. Huge green olives, with that beautiful sourness to die for. Ah These were spiced up garlic olives. Their tastes is nothing short fo heavenly, so I'm gonna be rationing them for the next week. After that they'd risk going bad, and I don't want that. So I looked at the ingredients, to see what they were. Now usually the especially sour ones have shitloads of vegetables added to them, and they taste great. Yet these ones had just 4 ingredients in their marinade. Sunflower oil, garlic, chilli peppers, and oregano, in that order. Simple and beautiful.
Next time I get my hands on some raw olives I'll use that marinade after leaving them in salt water for a good while.
Anyway, tomorrow I'll be posting pictures of the lovely olives to give you an idea of the ratios of the ingredients in the marinade, since it's too dark now. Damn good olives. :)
