Jock Zonfrillo Instagram – Step up your olive game with my Fried Stuffed Sicilian Olives! These ones are meaty and spicy, however you can do them vego if you prefer. I wouldn’t muck around with other olives, stick with the green Sicilian ones as they hold up well when fried, they stay firm but juicy. These are always a crowd-pleaser, and one of my go-to’s for entertaining season! I used @alwaysfreshau Sicilian Olives, of course.

FRIED STUFFED SICILIAN OLIVES
INGREDIENTS
1 x 230g jar Always Fresh Pitted Sicilian Olives
100g x Sausages (remove the meat from the skin, discard skin)
20g x Nduja
25g x Parmesan Cheese, microplaned
½ x lemon, juiced
Flour for coating
Breadcrumbs for coating
1 x egg
Salt and pepper
Grapeseed oil
METHOD
Get your grapeseed oil on the stove in a medium size pot and turn it on.
In a small bowl thoroughly mix the sausage meat, nduja, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice together. Place into a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle.
Empty your jar of olives, reserving the brine to use in another dish (I use it in dressings, sauces, marinades etc). Use the piping bag to pipe in a small amount of filling to completely fill the inside of the olive. It’s important that you pack this in tight, you don’t want air bubbles.
Once this is done, in three bowls put your flour in one, a whisked egg in another, and breadcrumbs in the final one. Follow the usual battering method of rolling the stuffed olives into the flour, remove excess flour by rolling them around gently in your fingers, then put into the egg mixture to fully coat, then finally into the breadcrumbs.
When your oil has hit 196 degrees, carefully put the olives in. They will bubble rapidly in the oil the whole time so keep an eye on them, moving them often until they get to the golden brown colour that you like. Once they’re done, remove and drain on kitchen paper, and then serve up ready to be devoured! These are super hot so give them a little bit of time to rest and cool before popping a whole one in your mouth… | Posted on 16/Feb/2023 12:40:00
