Slice chiles as thin as possible try to cut off slender wedges. Include
the seed mass but not the stem. Crush, mince or press garlic (unless you
prefer the rush of a chunky cut). Mince herbs, juice lemon. Add all
ingredients to the olives, mix, and allow to rest for at least an hour if
not overnight.

Serve as a side dish for a big feast, and warn the wimps. The visible
slices of thin red pepper ought to provide a clear enough warning to all
but the least observant. Enjoy!
