Calabrian Cracked Olives - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs green Sicilian olives
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sweet california chili powder
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/8 - 1/4 fluid ounce sherry wine vinegar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation

Place Sicilian green olives in a resealable plastic bag, hit with mallet
or hammer to crack the olives. Add olive oil, chili powder, parsley, garlic and vinegar. Mix well
and serve.
I find it easier to crack olives wrapped in a kitchen towel vs the plastic bag method.
