Ingredients:

• 1 liter large green olives with seeds
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1 large sprig of rosemary
• 4-5 orange slices with peel
• 1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
• 1 tbsp smoked sweet paprika
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Preparation:

1. In a saucepan, combine the garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, orange slices, red chili flakes, paprika, and olive oil. Place the saucepan over low heat.
