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.

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

- 1/2 cup (100g) jasmine rice
- 1/2 firmly packed cup (110g) brown sugar
