Forgo creamy dips or cheeses and serve these with drinks instead. Find a food store with a good olive selection and get a mix of large and small, skinny and fat, black, brown and green. Unpitted olives always taste better than pitted – just put out another small bowl for the stones when serving.
- Gently heat the oil, garlic, zest, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, coriander seeds and fennel seeds in a pan over low heat for 3 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.
- Add the olives, toss gently to coat, and cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through. Serve warm with an aperitif.
