Serve warm — the aromatics wake up completely when the oil is hot.
Method
- 01
Warm the olive oil in a small pan over low heat. Add the lemon peel, garlic, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, chilli, thyme and bay. Let them infuse for 2 minutes — no colour, just perfume.
- 02
Add the olives and swirl to coat. Warm through for 3–4 minutes, moving them around occasionally.
- 03
Tip into a small bowl, squeeze over a little lemon juice and serve warm with plenty of napkins.
