The simple things in life that make us the happiest. Or so they say.

And my quick lemon, garlic and thyme marinated olives could not be simpler. In fact, they are so simple, so quick, so easy that I hadn’t thought of posting them as a recipe. However, after repeated requests from friends and family for the recipe I’m only too happy to oblige.

I love green olives, but don’t like paying the exorbitant price tag at delis for marinated olives, so I love to marinate my own. All I do is toss them in a mixture of lemon zest and juice, garlic good extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt (smoked sea salt is a great one to use here, but if you don’t have it regular sea salt is fine. The finishing touch is a few herbs, I’ve used thyme here, one of my favourite herbs. But rosemary and parsley would make wonderful alternatives. Or you can skip the herbs altogether.
