(Very) approximately based on a recipe I (drunkenly) attempted to commit to memory while talking to the chef at my favourite restaurant. My olives are not as outstandingly, transcendentally delicious as their olives, but are still really good.

Ingredients

• ~500g olives (a mix of black and green is best)
• Juice of half an orange
• 3–6 cloves of Confit Garlic
• A good-size splash of rice vinegar
• 1–2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• Pinch of cumin
• 1–2 tbsp olive oil (ideally the oil from the garlic)

Method

1. Combine the ingredients. Adjust quantities to taste.

2. Wait. (They’re better after marinating, at least overnight.)
