Fried fish more commonly receives the attention of this hot spicy Arab seasoning, but nowadays Moroccan olives are prepared this way too.

Ingredients

  • 225 g(8 oz) green olives
  • ½ lemon, thinly sliced

Method

If the olives are in brine, drain well and tip them into a bowl. Quarter the slices of lemon and add to the bowl with the garlic, chopped chilli pepper, coriander seed and tomato paste.

Mix everything together and spoon into a jar. Cover and keep in a very cold place or the refrigerator, turning the jar every day, for 3 days before serving.
