Greek marinated olives, marinated in garlic and oregano, which gives them a delicious taste: that's a good snack at the Greek buffet!

Olives, salty taste will become extra flavorful if you marinate them yourself with herbs and spices. For this Greek olives I chose garlic, oregano, lemon and a little pepper. By letting them marinate overnight the olives took this delicious flavors into itself.

An easy-to-make recipe, which is good to pre-prepare and therefore very suitable for our Greek buffet.

Because ...

you want to make your guests as easy as possible, use seedless olives. Besides the easy bite, the flavor of the spices will become more intense.
You want to vary with flavors to add to your olives, you can also add dill, rosemary or mint.
your oil can't be stored at low temperatures, you store it overnight at room temperature. By heating the oil before pouring in the jar, you can easily make this dish a day in advance and the olives will stay ok.

Time table

A day before

Prepare the olives, let them cool slightly and screw the lid on the jar. Store overnight at room temperature.
