Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups olive oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
24 blue cheese-stuffed olives (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 lemon, zest removed in strips with a peeler
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour the olive oil into a medium saucepot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. Place over medium heat and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Set up a dredging station by placing the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Working in batches, drop the olives into the flour and roll until evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour and place the olives into the egg. Coat the olives in the egg and lift out, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Roll the olives in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Set aside a baking sheet.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the basil leaves and lemon peels, being aware that the oil may pop. Fry just until crispy, about 30 seconds. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Working in batches, fry the olives until the breadcrumbs are crunchy and the cheese is soft, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly.
  • Put the olives on a serving platter and crumble the fried basil and lemon zest over top. Sprinkle with freshly cracked pepper.

DEEP FRIED STUFFED OLIVES

These scrumptious deep fried stuffed olives are a bar snack that can't be beat. Recipe courtesy Chuck Hughes

Provided by Chuck Hughes

Categories     Veal

Time 1h40m

Yield 24 olives

Number Of Ingredients 16

24 large pitted green olives
1/2 cup flour
1 cup fine breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 shallot, diced
1 lb ground veal
salt and pepper
1/2 cup veal stock
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1/4 lb gorgonzola, crumbled

Steps:

  • For the olives:.
  • Place the olives in a bowl and cover over with water. While preparing the stuffings, let them soak about 30 minutes to remove the excess salt. Drain the water, rinse the olives and dry completely with a paper towel.
  • For the stuffings:.
  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the shallots. Add the ground veal, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook about 5 minutes. Add the veal stock and continue to cook over medium heat until the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the veal mixture to a bowl. Add the Parmesan, parsley, breadcrumbs and egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix together and set aside.
  • To assemble:.
  • Starting from the end (opposite the hole on top), cut the olive away from the pit in a spiral, as if you're peeling an apple. The olive will coil. Place the olive meat in a bowl.
  • Pinch a bit of the veal mixture between your thumb and forefinger and roll into a small ball. Shape the olive meat from half the olives around the filling, so the olive regains its original shape. Place on a baking tray, cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Proceed the same way for remaining olives and the gorgonzola cheese.
  • Coat the olives lightly in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs. To avoid the stuffing from seeping out, repeat the process twice to get a thick breading. Set aside.
  • Pour the olive oil into a medium frying pan and heat until the oil bubbles. Fry the olives until the breading is golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Serve the olives while warm.
  • Cook's Notes:.
  • You can try other fillings like feta or smooth goat cheese mixed with lemon zest, garlic and basil. You can also add crushed pine nuts to the cheese or meat mixture.
  • For a vegetarian version, try chickpea in puree, basil, olive oil and lemon or orange zests.
