Jazzed Up Olives

Save your money on fancy olives by jazzing them up for yourself.  I learned this trick when I lived in Chile where olives and cheese where common restaurant, bar and party fare. 

​SAN REMO OLIVES: Are usually on sale anywhere you shop. The can contains four ingredients:  ripe olives, water, salt and ferrous gluconate.  So what is ferrous gluconate?  It's iron!  www.befoodsmart.com rates ferrous gluconate as a  'B' so olives are a source of iron.  For better absorbability, try to eat olives with a citrus or food that contains vitamin C. So, if you add these to your salad, use lemon juice in the salad dressing or have some tomatoes in your salad.

Jazzed up Olives:
​Ingredients:
  • ​​1 can olives
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 Tbs. dried oregano
Method:
  1. ​​Add can to a glass bowl with lid or a medium sized jar.
  2. Add chopped garlic and oregano
  3. Mix a little bit to get the oregano wet or shake if it's in the jar. 
  4. Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.  Great for parties if you make them in the morning and give them a chance to absorb the garlic and oregano flavours.
