Servings 1 ½ Cup

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp fennel seeds
  • ½ tsp finely grated orange zest, tightly packed
  • ¼ tsp finely grated lemon zest, tightly packed
  • 1 ½ cup olives

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add fennel seeds and stir for about 1 or 2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly toasted. Be careful not to burn them!
  • Add orange and lemon zest and keep stirring for another minute.
  • Turn off the heat and add the olives (carefully, the oil is hot and it can splatter). Give it a good stir.
  • Let them cool at room temperature and serve. If you store them in the fridge, the olive oil will solidify; so make sure you take them out a couple of minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!
