Ingredients

• 250g large green olives

• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind

• 1/4 teaspoon dried chilli flakes

• Caperberries, to serve

Spiced almonds

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• 250g blanched almonds

• 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes

• 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika

Method

• Step 1

  Place the olives, oil, garlic, vinegar, lemon rind and chilli in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes to develop the flavours.

• Step 2

  Meanwhile, to make the spiced almonds, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer almonds to a heatproof bowl. Add the sea salt flakes and paprika and stir to coat the almonds in spice mixture. Set aside for 20 minutes to cool.
