Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Large green olives, pitted
- 1 sheet Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the nori mixture that will serve as the vegan 'anchovy' filling. Rip the nori sheet into small pieces and place them in a blender or food processor.
Add the capers, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture until you achieve a smooth paste, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The consistency should be thick yet spreadable.
Gently take each pitted green olive and stuff them with the nori mixture. You can use a small spoon or a piping bag to fill the olives. Each olive should hold about half a teaspoon of the mixture.
Continue until all olives are filled.
Arrange the stuffed olives on a serving plate, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a delightful appetizer or snack. These vegan anchovy-stuffed olives can also be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before serving.
