Garlic Parmesan Olives

"Marinated olives--with a decidedly Italian flavor--are chilled for one hour prior to serving."

INGREDIENTS:
1 (6 ounce) can black olives, drained
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (the real stuff, not the green bottle shaky stuff) I used the bagged already shredded up cheese and then chopped it even more)

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a small bowl, combine olives, garlic, basil, and black pepper. Stir in the olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Stir well and chill, covered for at least one hour before serving.

I usually double or triple this recipe.. and I usually add less cheese and a little more basil and black peppter.. Do this several time and add or subtract the seasonings as needed..

Total wonderful.
