This vibrant vegan snack of Moroccan spiced olives brings a sophisticated touch to any mezze board or drinks party. High-quality green olives are lightly crushed and simmered with aromatic garlic, earthy thyme, and a hint of citrus. The addition of harissa provides a gentle, warming heat that perfectly balances the natural saltiness of the fruit, making these far superior to any shop-bought alternative.
Preparing these olives in advance is essential, as a long marinating time allows the North African spices to deeply penetrate the olives. This easy homemade appetiser is a heart-healthy choice for mindful snacking and pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or a robust red. Serve them at room temperature to fully enjoy the complex, savoury flavours and silky texture of the olive oil dressing.

Ingredients for Moroccan Spiced Olives
475ml green olives (with pits) in brine (275g), such as picholine or Cerignola, lightly smashed to crack open slightly
4 garlic cloves, sliced
60ml extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons tomato paste
80ml water
2 teaspoons harissa (North African spice paste)
3 (4-to 5-inch) thyme sprigs
2 thin lemon slices
How to make Moroccan Spiced Olives
Cover olives with water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, then drain.
Cook garlic in oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in water, harissa, thyme, and olives and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until liquid is thickened and coats olives, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon slices. Transfer to a shallow dish and marinate, chilled, at least 24 hours.
