Marinated Olive Wraps

Servings: 3

If you’re in a rush, this recipe will take just ten minutes. If you’ve got the time, I recommend making the olives ahead and letting them marinate in the aromatic rosemary–garlic oil for optimal flavor. While I call for green olives, feel free to substitute your favorite.

INGREDIENTS

1½ cups pitted and sliced green olives
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon ground oregano
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 (8-inch) whole-wheat pitas
1 cup arugula leaves
½ cup fresh mint leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine the green olives, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, red pepper flakes and oregano in a medium bowl.
2. If time allows, cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour. If you’re unable to wait, skip to step 3.
3. Divide the marinated olives among the 3 pitas and top with the arugula and mint. Roll each pita into a burrito and serve!
