Preparation

• Using a mortar and pestle, lightly crush the coriander seeds. Transfer to a 1-quart saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in the olive oil, orange zest, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute after the oil begins to sizzle. Add the olives and Pernod, if using. Warm the olives through, stirring often, about 1 minute. Strain the oil into a small serving bowl. Transfer the olives to another serving bowl. Serve with bread for dipping.
