Though we used to eat olives occasionally earlier also, it became a regular part of our life only after moving to Dubai. Now, we love olives and I keep on looking for new olive recipe ideas.

Today I am sharing a marinated olives recipe- Zeytoon Parvardeh, which is one of my favorite ways of enjoying olives.

I loved the combination of walnuts and pomegranate molasses after trying the vegan Fesenjoon recipe last year. So, when I came across this easy olive recipe that uses the same combination, I couldn't ignore it and it didn’t disappoint me this time either.

What is Zeytoon  Parvardeh?

Zeytoon Parvardeh is a Persian recipe of marinated olives. This dish has its roots in northern Iran near the Caspian sea. It’s made by mixing green olives with chopped or ground walnuts, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, garlic, and mint leaves. The result is addictive Zeytoon Parvardeh.

If you like olives then you have to try this recipe.

How long do Persian marinated olives last?

Put them in an airtight container and keep in the fridge. They will be fine for at least 2-3 weeks.

How to serve?

You can serve them as a side dish with any rice dish, stews, and grills. They are perfect to be served on a cheeseboard.

Personally, I don’t need anything else with these olives and eat them as a healthy snack.

Do they need to be made in advance

Traditionally, these Marinated olives are made around 5-7 days in advance of serving. However, they are good to be eaten after 2 hours in the fridge.

    I have been trying to find olives like we had in Dubai, when we visited a year ago. They were served as appetizer in the hotel bar. They were large green , pitted, and in oil. O you have any idea what kind they were?

      Hi Lois. I am not sure what exactly you tried as a lot of marinated olive varieties are eaten in Dubai. But from the description which you have shared, I am guessing that they were either Moroccan or Jordanian marinated olives. Hope that helps.

    We love marinated olives in our house and this is a lovely recipe. I have not seen pomegranate molasses around. Is there any alternate to it or could I use regular molasses?

      Thanks, Sandhya. I am sorry since pomegranate is an important ingredient in this recipe and has a very unique taste, I couldn't find anything that could replace it in this recipe. I have checked it's available online in almost every country. Maybe that will help.

      Thanks a lot Archana. Unfortunately, I never tried it without pomegranate molasses so can't comment. I was reading somewhere that you can make pomegranate molasses at home by cooking real pomegranate juice over a slow flame until it thickens but that will be time-consuming. I checked pomegranate molasses is easily available online in almost every country. Hope that helps.

    It's an interesting snack recipe. The addition of garlic and walnut looks so inviting. I can feel the tanginess right here. It must be delicious.

    I can snack on a whole bowl of olives. This walnut, garlic and mint stuffed olives look just too tempting. Perfect nibbles to go with some wine.
