Ingredients

3 cups brine cured green olives, such as picholine, manzanillo or queen

1 lemon, thinly sliced

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano, or 1 tablespoon dried oregano

5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon dried hot pepper flakes

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir well to mix. Marinate the olive mixture, covered and chilled, stirring occasionally, for at least 1 day before serving. Let come to room temperature before serving. To store indefinitely, transfer the olives to a 1-quart glass jar with tight-fitting lid and keep chilled.
