Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mixed olives, drained
Aromatics:
- 4 strips lemon peel
- 2 sprigs rosemary, cut into pieces
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare a skillet with extra virgin olive oil, coating the bottom evenly over medium heat to create a smooth, glistening base for the olives.
- Carefully introduce mixed olives into the heated oil, accompanied by vibrant lemon peel strips and fragrant rosemary sprigs, allowing them to dance and sizzle together.
- Gently maneuver the ingredients with a wooden spoon, letting the flavors meld and intensify for approximately 3-4 minutes until the olives become warm and aromatic.
- Watch for subtle changes: the olives should develop a slight sheen, the rosemary should release its essential oils, and the lemon peel should soften and infuse the mixture with citrusy brightness.
- Swiftly transfer the warm, glistening olives to a serving dish, ensuring the herbs and lemon peel are evenly distributed for maximum flavor impact.
- Present the dish immediately while the olives are still warm, inviting guests to enjoy the sensory experience of herbs, citrus, and perfectly heated olives.
Notes
- Infused with aromatic rosemary and bright lemon, these sautéed olives transform a simple snack into a gourmet experience.
- Perfectly heated olive oil helps release the olives’ rich, briny essence, creating a mouthwatering dish that’ll impress guests in minutes.
