Ingredients
  

  • ½ lb assorted pitted olives, drained
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 small sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • Zest from one orange

Instructions
 

  • Warm the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves, rosemary, fennel seeds, and orange zest. Heat for 2–3 minutes, or until the garlic is mostly cooked.  
  • Add the olives. Stir to coat the olives with the olive oil mixture. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator overnight (or at least for 4 hours) for the flavors to marry. 
  • To serve, pour the entire mixture in a sauté pan and stir gently until the olive oil is liquid again (it solidifies in the refrigerator). The olives can be served warm or at room temperature.
