Preparation

Step 1

Drain olives. Rinse them with cold water and drain them again. Place them in a container that has a lid.

With the side of your knife, smash garlic and add it to the olives.
Add salt, oregano, chili flakes, oil, and vinegar.

Close the container and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds.

Let the olives sit for at least 15 minutes, then serve.
