Angelo’s marinated olives

Recipe

Olives are possibly the easiest nibble to serve and always go down well with everyone. They suit all dietary requests.

They disappear pretty quickly while people settle onto the couch for a catch up and a drink before the meal.

European migrants like Angelo Varelos from Macedonia have helped make beautiful olives, like the Kalamata variety (my favourite), readily accessible here in Australia, we are all very lucky!

“We always had a little bit of Australian feta and some nice big black olives on the table” – Angelo.

Serves 4 as a starter. GF. V.
