Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 kilogram green olives -- 2lb
cooking salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil -- more or less

Crush the olives. Take a tall large jar, half filled with water, and pour in the olives. Add some more water to cover, if needed. Let them soak for 12-15hours. Wash the olives very well, changing the water 2-3 times and drain. Add the lemon juice (for each kilo of olives add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice) and enough brine (see note) to cover them. Finally add the olive oil (its height in the jar must be about 1 cm) and seal. The olive oil must be 3-4 cm below the lid of the jar. The olives should be ready in 20-30 days or when the bitterness has gone. When served, take a few olives and drain them (you may wash them, if desired). Place in a bowl, sprinkle with some lemon juice and stir in a little olive oil, a little crushed coriander and crushed garlic cloves.

Note: To make brine: To every 8 cups of water add 1 cup of cooking salt. Stir well so that the salt dissolves.
