The good stuff:

• Olives are very high in Vitamin E (the stuff that’s in anti-ageing creams) and antioxidants.
• As a healthy fat, olives are used to make olive oil- one of the most flavourful and nutritious oils out there.
• Over 70% of the fat content is oleic acid- a monosaturated fat known for decreased inflammation and reduced heart disease.

You’ll need:

• Olives preserved in water, drained
• Roasted almonds
• Dried abricots- diced
• Olive oil
• Garlic- very finely chopped
• Mint- chopped
• Cumin
• Sesame seeds
• Pinch of salt

The process:

• Mix all ingredients together and store in a glass container for at least 1 week.
• Shake the container every 2 days
• After 1 week, your bland water-preserved olives will taste INCREDIBLE and like a million bucks!
• Note: your glass container must be DRY and it’s best to leave it out of the fridge (so that the oil doesn’t coagulate).
