Preparation

  • Pour all ingredients (except bread) into a large high-rimmed plate. Season generously with pepper.
  • Mix gently with a fork to distribute all ingredients in the oil without crushing the olives.
  • Serve immediately at room temperature with warm crusty bread for dipping directly into the plate.
