Holiday Recipe: Miso-Glazed Olives | Food and Drink

Pressed for time, but looking to elevate that classic bowl of olives to something spectacular?

Here’s an easy option that takes less than 20 minutes.

Miso-Glazed Olives are the perfect crowd-pleaser for any holiday gathering. And because California Ripe Olives can always be kept on hand thanks to a great shelf life, save yourself time and pick up a few extra cans this season.

In a bowl, or elevated ever so slightly, they’re there when you need ‘em—and then gone in a flash!

2 clove garlic, minced

2 cans (6-oz.) large California Ripe Olives, well drained

Toasted sesame seeds and chopped chives
