Lemon Cilantro Moroccan Olives

if you love cilantro, you'll love these olives. and... start them a week ahead to marinate. they really perk up a relish tray, and are delicious in salad. this is a recipe where you can tweak it to your liking a bit; let me add that a little extra lemon juice doesn't hurt a bit...! prep time includes allowing olives to sit overnight to "un-brine"; and another week to mellow.
