Orange Marinated Olives

You can use any type of good-quality olive in this spicy dish, but an assortment of black and green olives looks particularly nice.

1 cup brine-cured olives (such as Kalamata and/or green olives)
¼ cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. very thin matchstick-size strips orange peel
2 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
½ tsp. dried crushed red pepper

Mix first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Season to taste with red pepper and salt.

Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

Makes 1 cup.
