How to make Citrus-spiced mixed olives
1) Put the olive oil, garlic, red pepper, herbs, and citrus zests in a medium skillet. Heat over medium-high heat, swirling the pan until the mixture is fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
2) Add the olives, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden and the zest begins to curl, about 5 mins more. Discard and remove bay leaves, if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.
