  • 2 cups large, unpitted green or black olives, drained
  • 1/2 cup olive brine
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup beer
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cayenne or chile de árbol peppers
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground
