Marinated Olives & Nuts - Lori's Cookbook
This is my entry for this week's @foodfightfriday challenge.

This week's food post is a bit different in that I didn't actually like the final product, but I think that's more to do with me than with the recipe.

# Marinated Olives & Nuts

In a quart-sized canning jar, place:
* 1 cup walnuts
* 1 can olives (drained)
* 1 sprig rosemary (I didn't have any, so I used dried...)

![IMGP3587.JPG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/viking-ventures/wWSm7H5T-IMGP3587.JPG)

In skillet, sauté (dry):
* 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
* a few slices orange peel or zest

![IMGP3589.JPG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/viking-ventures/uhkVz1cR-IMGP3589.JPG)

Add to skillet:
* 1-2 dried chilies (or 1-2 teaspoons chili flakes)
* 2 cups olive oil

Heat through.

![IMGP3590.JPG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/viking-ventures/NA4Wd805-IMGP3590.JPG)

Pour into the quart jar (with the walnuts, olives and rosemary sprig.)

Marinate for 24 hours (room temp.)

Here is the final result.

Honestly, it was good, but I'm not super keen on walnuts in their raw or nearly-raw state, so I probably should have tried pecans instead. I also found the dried rosemary tended to "hang out" inside the olives, which didn't really work for me. A sachet with the herbs in it might work better or use a fennel seedhead along with the sprig of rosemary... I might play with it this summer if I'm able to garden the way I want to.

Still, for many, this is an excellent recipe, looks beautiful and adds a touch of class to your dining table.

@viking-ventures. I don’t think you’ve shown us anything yet that I wouldn’t love to sample. If you’ve read just a teensy weensy bit of anything Sive ever said, I don’t know how to sugar coat and I suck at lying. What I’m trying to say is, we know technology is far from its peak because you can’t text message me a jar of those olives!!

Thanks for throwing down with us, chef, I always look forward to your mess. Good luck in round 76.

Thank you! It was either being honest or not sharing a recipe that technically worked and others might really like. So, I chose to share. :-)

I never marinated olives or walnuts. With what you eat this?
Walnuts can be very present in food same with the oil. I like eating them just so.but not with or mixed with salads or something else.

I think I found the recipe when looking for low-carb snack ideas.
I'm not the best one at putting foods together with other things... but it would make a good addition to a salad as you mentioned.
