Directions
Crispy Olives Stuffed With Sausage, I tried this appetizer from Michael Chiarello for a cocktail party These were snarfed in the first 30 minutes , I served this as one of the appetizers at a dinner party last night I served it with marinara sauce as suggested Big thumbs up from all the guests! used a can of pitted green olives and they were smaller than I expected, so I cut each olive on one side to make it easier to stuff the sausage inside The breading process is pretty messy, and because I had so many small olives, it was time consuming, but they turned out delicious!, I tried this appetizer from Michael Chiarello for a cocktail party These were snarfed in the first 30 minutes

Fry Olives Until Golden Brown and the Sausage in the Middle Is Cooked Through, About 3 Minutes. Do not Crowd in Fryer. Olives Will Bubble Vigorously Until They Are Nearly Done, So Watch For Splatters. Drain on Paper Towels. Serve Warm or at Room Temperature. I Served Marinara as a Dipping Sauce. |
