C and L's Stuffed Black Olives image

This is a great party appetizer, or a really good family snack. Serve with marinara sauce. There is often a bit of the meat mixture left over, so you may want to use more olives than I have recommended in this recipe.

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces ground pork
4 ounces ground beef
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ small onion, shredded
1 tablespoon dried parsley
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 (15 ounce) can black olives, drained
2 eggs
2 cups Italian-style dried bread crumbs
2 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook ground beef and ground pork until evenly browned.
  • Drain meats. Mix in Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion, parsley flakes, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Continue cooking over medium high heat 1 to 2 minutes, until thoroughly blended.
  • Beat eggs in a small bowl. Place Italian-style dried bread crumbs in a small bowl. Stuff the olives with the meat mixture. Dip the stuffed olives into the eggs, then into the bread crumb mixture. Place coated olives on a flat surface and let them sit for 10 minutes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in the deep fryer or large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Repeat the process of dipping each olive into the egg and bread mixture.
  • In small batches, fry the olives 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
