An olive is not just some bar snack any longer. Today's olive is sophisticated and mouthwatering, especially when stuffed. Whether they are filled with hazelnuts, mushrooms, almonds, or other goodies, stuffed olives are a great compliment to any martini or snack tray. Here is a recipe make your own.
Instructions
1. Buy large unpitted Spanish green olives and whatever goody you'd like to stuff inside of them.
2. Pit your olives using your olive pitter. Simply place your olive inside the pitter and squeeze until the pit pops out. Discard the pit.
3. Chop or cut your filling into small pieces that will fit inside the hole you've just created with the pitter.
4. Stuff your olives with the filling. There's no perfect science here. Things like nuts are easier to stuff than soft items like cheeses. To help with this task, use soft spread knives, toothpicks or cocktail forks.
5. Return your olives into the jar and store in the fridge. Hold onto the olive juice; once you're done stuffing and you return the olives to their jar, they will continue to marinate and flavor your filling.
