Wash the olives well in water and place them in a big bowl which can hold all the olives and add water to cover them.[1]
Extract the bitterness from the olives by soaking them in fresh water for a week. Change the water every day. You can split the olives by beating lightly (without crushing) every olive with a wood gavel. This will speed up the waiting time in the next steps.[2]Advertisement
Pour out the soaking water after seven days of soaking. Get a clean jar and stuff the olives inside.[3]
Put in the garlic, hot peppers, lemon slices, coriander or fennel seeds and bay leaves into the jar.
Pour the salt solution into the jar until it covers the olives.
Pour a bit of olive oil to create a thin protective layer on top.
Close the jar and place it in a cool, dark place.[4]
The olives will be ready for eating after 2 weeks to a month, if they were split, or four months if they are intact.[5]
Enjoy your delicious pickled olives!
