Spanish olives marinated in oregano and chillies

Ingredients:
1 jar or tin of green Spanish olives
100ml of mild Spanish olive oil
6 sprigs of fresh oregano
6 dried cayenne peppers

Method:
Drain the Spanish olives from the brine and place them in a bowl.  Between your hands, rub the sprigs of oregano so they release their natural aromas, before sprinkling the sprigs over the olives in the bowl with the crushed chillies.  Drizzle over the olive oil and then turn everything together to mix.  Leave to stand for 20 minutes then enjoy the freshly marinated olives, or keep in the fridge for up to a month in a tightly sealed container.

100ml of mild Spanish olive oil
1 tbsp of sesame seeds
