Make the warm olives: Add a piece of paper towel to a small plate and set aside. To a small-medium pot add 2 tbsp olive oil and turn to medium heat. When warm, add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until the garlic is browned - turn the heat off and use a slotted spoon to spoon the garlic out onto a paper towel lined plate.Keep the oil in the pot and turn back to medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the olives, chili flakes, lemon peels, orange peels and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, to warm the olives through. Finish with squeezing the juice from a lemon wedge over top and stir once more. Set aside.

incredible recipe! a huge hit with everyone.  will be making again!

I made this dip as an appetizer for Christmas dinner, and my entire family (some of whom don’t even like olives) ate it in minutes. I was told that I am now required to make this for every family event moving forward. Super versatile, and easy to make substitutions in a pinch. So delicious!
