Smoked olives
These are a great snack to have on hand for summer entertaining. If they’re too salty to begin with, give them a quick rinse, as heating can bring out their salty nature. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, then bring to room temperature before serving.

Ingredients (8)

  • 500g mixed olives
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 6 x 5cm strips pared lemon rind

Smoking mixture

  • 1/2 cup (100g) jasmine rice
  • 1/2 firmly packed cup (110g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (35g) large black tea leaves
  • 4 x 5cm strips pared orange rind
