Roasted Garlic And Feta Stuffed Deep Fried Olives Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC AND FETA STUFFED DEEP FRIED OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove olives from the can, line a pan with papertowl, and place the olives on the pan. Dry each olive, make sure they are as dry as they can be. Then set aside.
• Cut the top quarter off the top of the head of the garlic bulb. Place it in a pie pan and drizzle the top with the olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and pepper. Cover them with foil and bake until the garlic is roasted and soft, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place panko bread crumbs in a shallow bowl and heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees.
• Once the garlic is done roasting, squeeze the the roasted garlic bulbs out and mix with feta in a food processor until smooth.
• Using a pastry bag fitted with a plain large round tip, fill each olive with the garlic and feta mixture.
• Place a toothpick width-wise through each olive. Dip each filled olive into the wet batter, then into the panko bread crumbs, and set aside until all olives are covered in the panko.
• Deep fry each olive for about 3-5 min until the olives turn a nice golden color. Remove from oil, sprinke with salt immediately, then set aside to cool for 5 min, then serve.

DEEP-FRIED OLIVES

Steps:

• Crush the breadcrumbs in a bag using a rolling pin or in a food processor. Tip into a shallow dish with the berries, then season and set aside. Toss the olives in the flour. Put the beaten egg in a large bowl, add the coated olives and move them around to coat. Turn them one by one in the breadcrumb mixture, then put on a plate until ready to fry.
• Heat the oil in a large pan to 180C, then fry the olives for 1-2 mins, or until golden and sizzling. Drain on kitchen paper and leave to cool for a few mins as they'll be very hot inside.
• To make the lemon and vermouth mayo, mix the vermouth with the mayonnaise and lemon juice. Serve the warm, deep-fried olives alongside the mayo.

ROASTED GARBANZO AND VEGETABLE SALAD RECIPE WITH GARLIC, FETA, OLIVES, AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Put garbanzo beans in a colander placed in the sink and rinse well with cold water until no more foam appears, then let drain well. (You can blot dry with paper towels if you need to speed up the draining step.) While garbanzos drain, chop red bell peppers and red onion. Toss drained garbanzos, chopped red bell pepper, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and olive oil and spread out on a baking sheet that you've sprayed with olive oil or non-stick spray. Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper. Roast the beans and vegetables about 20 minutes, or until vegetables are starting to soften. While garbanzos and vegetables roast, crumble the feta, drain the olives and slice in half, and wash the basil, spin dry, and slice into strips. When garbanzos and vegetables are done, put back into the bowl and toss with dressing, then let cool for about 10-15 minutes. When cooled, stir in the Feta and sliced olives. Add the strips of basil (or chopped parsley) and stir gently to combine. Season again with salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste; I didn't add much salt). Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
