This is a perfect snack to serve when guests come over, on its own or alongside a platter of finger foods — the classic bowl of olives, but with a twist!
You will need
Serves 1
- 50 millilitres olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
- 200 grams pitted Kalamata olives
- 100 grams smashed macadamias
- 3 peels of lemon rind
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
Recipe: Simon Toohey
Directions
-
Step 1
In a pan on low to medium heat add your oil and garlic so the garlic flavour mixes through the oil.
-
Step 2
After a moment, add the rest of the ingredients and cook gently for about 5 minutes, until the macadamias softly start to colour. You can turn up the heat for 30 seconds at the very end to get a little extra heat through the mixture before removing from stove.
-
Step 3
Pour into a bowl and set aside for 20–30 minutes — the oil will sink to the bottom. Then they’re ripe for snacking!
