Almond Stuffed Olives
Try something new and serve almond-stuffed olives at your next party or family gathering! This olive appetizer is easy, tasty, and ready in minutes!
Ingredients
- 24 green olives (large, pitted, see note 1)
- 24 whole almonds (blanched, see note 2)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (see note 3)
Instructions
- Take an olive and stuff its cavity with a blanched almond. Repeat until you have used up all the olives.
- Transfer them to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to buy pitted olives (any color will do but we personally recommend green ones or Kalamata olives). You cannot remove the stones yourself unless you have a cherry/olive pitter.
- Blanched almonds are white because their skins were removed during this process.
- Use good quality olive oil – preferably marked extra virgin.
- Optional extras – a sprinkle of black pepper, lemon zest, and herbs (see post above for more details).
