Warm Marinated Olives

Little unassuming bowls of these olives were sprinkled down the tables of The Humble Table's Fall Harvest Dinner last year and were a huge hit with us and everyone we were carrying on conversation with while happily munching. Associate Editor, Ann Walczak thought about them so often she asked Chef Kirstie Harris for the recipe so she could serve them as a pre-Thanksgiving meal snack. Needless to say, they were a huge hit then, too.
