ihOO’s Chef Beth Notes:

• Any type of cured olives will do. I like to use a mix of different color and sizes of olives. 
• The zest of blood orangecan be used from the same blood orange you will use to juice. Always zest before juicing.
• Use a premium extra-virgin olive oil since this will bring a lot of flavor to your dish. I recommend using blood orange olive oil for an extra kick.
