How to Make Marinated Olives: A Simple Recipe with Big Flavor
This week I want to show you how to make an attractive and tasty appetiser from simple olives. I have prepared two recipes for marinated olives, one for black and one for green olives, using typical Spanish ingredients such as garlic, bay leaf, paprika, orange or oregano.
Most of the olives found in local and online shops of Spanish products are of excellent quality and taste. Most of the time, these olives only need to open the jar or can and put on a plate to enjoy their flavour. They usually have their marinade from the pickled process of the artisan or factory.

However, there is another type of olives in which the pickled process has been simpler. They are usually found on the market in an acid medium such as rice vinegar or wine vinegar, making their price lower. This type of olive with a flatter flavour would be the perfect example to show you how to make a delicious tapa dish out of simple olives.
