Instructions
-
Wash the Azizi olives thoroughly and drain them in a colander.
-
Using a mallet or the back of a knife, gently crush each olive to open it. Immediately soak them in water to prevent discoloration.
-
Once all the olives are crushed, drain the water and set them aside.
-
In a large bowl, combine the olives with sliced lemons, green chili peppers, coarse salt, and turmeric. Mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, dissolve sea salt in cold water to make the brine.
-
Sterilize the jars by washing them thoroughly and drying them completely.
-
Fill each jar with the olive mixture, pressing it down to minimize air gaps.
-
Add olive oil, garlic cloves, and a large lemon slice to the top of each jar.
-
Pour the brine over the olives, ensuring they are completely submerged.
-
Seal the jars tightly and store them in a cool, dark place.
-
Allow the olives to ferment for at least two weeks before opening.
