1 Vacuum pack or tin of green Cypriot or Greek olives; drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons Bruised coriander seeds long strips

Directions

CARDAMOM ORANGE OLIVES

CORIANDER THYME OLIVES

Place all the ingredients in a large glass jar and cover them completely with the oil. Give it a shake to disperse the seeds.

Store in a cool place. The flavour will develop nicely in about 2 weeks.

Note: The authors say that the oil that the olives mature in is good for cooking or salads when a strong oil is needed. The oil and olives can be replaced as they are used.
