'nduja Stuffed Fried Olives Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Olives

   Using a small knife, carefully stuff each pitted olive with a small amount of nduja, ensuring they are well-filled but not bursting.

2. 2

   Breading Station

   Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Coat the Olives

   Dip each stuffed olive first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Make sure they are fully covered.

4. 4

   Fry the Sage

   In a frying pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add sage leaves and fry until crispy, then remove and set aside.

5. 5

   Fry the Olives

   In the same pan, heat enough olive oil for deep frying. Once hot, carefully add the breaded olives in batches, frying until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried olives from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, garnished with crispy sage and lemon wedges on the side.
