First rinse the olives well under running water and drain.
Prepare a sauce with garlic, oil and chilli, then add the well-drained olives, season with salt (so as to remove a little bitter) and cook for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile wash the tomatoes and cut them in half or in 4 parts, depending on the size.
Add the tomatoes and the basil to the olives and continue cooking for another 10 minutes: when the olives start to unravel they will be cooked.
The fried olives are ready: accompany them with excellent fresh bread and serve hot, warm or cold.
