Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 7 oz green or black olives 220g / drained and pitted
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 oz feta 75g
- 1 tbsp rosemary finely diced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F / 150°C
- In a small baking tray, combine the olives and olive oil. Bake covered or uncovered for 45 minutes.
- Using a colander, separate the olives from the olive oil and store all but 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a glass jar to use at a later date. The olive oil will keep for 1 month.
- Allow the olives to slightly cool. When cool enough to handle, stuff the olives with small amounts of feta cheese. You can do this with your finger or a chopstick.
- Place the stuffed olives into a small bowl and dress with 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil, rosemary, garlic, red pepper flakes and lemon zest and juice. Mix to combine.
- Serve immediately while the olives are still warm.
