Aren\u2019t you? I came across a recipe that\u2019s not only simple, but oh-so-easy to prepare, and delicious! I had all the ingredients in my Sayulita kitchen so I went ahead and gave it a try. This is such a great appetizer or side dish! If you love olives, you will really enjoy this recipe.&nbsp;I\u2019m having a dinner party tomorrow so I decided to make this as one of my sides. And who doesn\u2019t love olives? Ok so maybe a few of you don\u2019t like olives\u2026 but I have to say, roasted olives with feta, shallots, and garlic is simply amazing!<\/p>\n<p>INGREDIENTS:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups pitted Castelvetrano olives.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>I had them in my fridge but you can choose any pitted olive with the flavor you prefer.
