Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces Large green olives (pitted, preferably Castelvetrano)
- 200 grams Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casing removed)
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 grams Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Drain the pitted green olives and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
Take small portions of the Italian sausage and roll them into tiny balls just small enough to fit inside the olives. Stuff each olive with the sausage by gently pressing the sausage into the cavity of the olive. Repeat with all olives and set aside.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Roll each stuffed olive in the flour, making sure it is lightly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured olive into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
Finally, roll the olive in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Place the breaded olives on a tray and repeat with the remaining olives.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F). You can test the temperature by dropping in a breadcrumb—it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the breaded olives in small batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried olives to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the crispy stuffed olives warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as-is!
