Olives in spicy garlic oil with chili is a bold and expressive recipe that combines simplicity with intense flavors. Inspired by Mediterranean traditions, it reveals the depth of flavors from olives, piquant garlic, and fiery chili. Lightly roasted garlic infuses the oil with rich taste, while the olives absorb this spicy mixture, creating a perfect balance of salty, spicy, and rich. This appetizer is ideal for an aperitif, adding festivity to any gathering. Served hot, they warm and stimulate the appetite and can also serve as an accent in Mediterranean dishes. They pair wonderfully with crusty bread and chilled drinks, making them an essential addition to friendly get-togethers and cozy evenings.
