Fried Olives?

[fatkat]

I just saw a recipe in the March Family Circle for fried green olives stuffed with garlic...............they look good but I wonder, hmmmmmm.

Anyone ever have them?

[Ginger]

No, but I make olives wrapped in a cheesy dough and then baked. Bet that would be good with some garlic stuck in the olive!

Here is the one from the magazine:


Fried Olives
Source: Family Circle
http://www.familycircle.com

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 jars (7oz each) large pimiento- or garlic-stuffed green olives, drained (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup packaged seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper


1. In deep, medium-size saucepan, pour oil to depth of 1-1/2 inches. Heat over medium-high heat until oil registers 340 degrees F to 350 degrees F on deep-fat frying thermometer (or 1-inch bread cube dropped in oil turns brown in 45 seconds).
2. Place olives in bowl. Add flour; toss until evenly coated. In small bowl, beat eggs lightly. In medium-size bowl, combine crumbs, cheese, salt, pepper and cayenne.
3. Dip olives in egg, then crumbs. Fry 8 to 10 at a time, 1-1/2 minutes, until golden. Makes 60 olives.
4. Make-Ahead Tip: Olives can be fried a day ahead, then refrigerated. Reheat on baking sheet in 300 degree F oven for 7 minutes.

Oh boy does that sound awesome, especially for a party. Olives and beer!
Hey....fatkat, make those for the next growler party Craig goes to!!!

[fatkat]

These would be perfect with those garlic stuffed olives I shared with you all!!!

That sounds so good! I bought some olives last week that I thought were stuffed with almonds, but when I got them home I found out they were stuffed with anchovies. Theyre ok, but so salty you can only eat a few and then youre sick of them.

Big Green olives stuffed with Feta Cheese and Bleu Cheese are my favs! Id rather eat those than chocolate!

[Maddison]

Humungous green olives stuffed with provolone cheese, eaten with cheese curds and the mustard dip! Oh man oh man!! Oh, and throw in a few cherished girfriends and plenty of gossip and a few drinks.....and that, my friends is the meaning of life...

I never acquired a taste for olives, especially dislike the black ones.

I've never heard of fried olives, but I love the sound of the recipe. I'm definitely going to try it. I'm with apanda, I'd rather eat olives than chocolate. Thanks fatkat.
