Moroccan Marinated Olives

Ingredients:
2 cup green, brown, or black olives - with pits still in
2 tablespoons fresh coriander - chopped
2 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley - chopped
1 garlic clove - finely chopped
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
2-4 tablespoons olive oil
2-4 tablespoons lemon juice

Place olives on cutting board, and using the smooth side of a meat tenderizer, crack the olives (but not hard enough to crack the stone!). Place in a bowl of cold water and leave overnight to remove the excess brine. Drain thoroughly and place in a jar.

Combine all ingredients for the marinade and pour over olives, adding more olive oil and lemon juice to cover, if necessary.

Let stand for at least one hour before serving.
