Servings: 60

Preparation duration: 60 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup smoked almonds

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 ounces cured Spanish chorizo, finely diced

2 large eggs, beaten

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Kosher salt

60 large green Sicilian olives, pitted (about 1 quart)

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Vegetable oil, for frying

Equipment:

food processor

pastry bag

pot

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

In a food processor, pulse the almonds and chorizo until very finely chopped. Add the cream cheese, season with salt, and pulse to combine. Using a pastry bag, or a resealable bag with one corner cut off, fill each olive with as much of the filling as possible. Fill a heavy-bottomed pot with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Set up three bowls. Put the flour and cayenne in one, the beaten egg in another, and the panko in the last. Roll each olive in the flour to coat completely, shaking off any excess; then dip in the egg to coat; and, finally, roll in the panko. Carefully add the olives, about 10 or so at a time, to the oil. Fry the olives until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil, and season with salt as they come out of the fryer. Repeat until all of the olives are fried. Serve warm.

Food Joke

The dinner party Freda and Moshe Levy won 8 million pounds in the National Lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of living in luxury. They bought a luxurious mansion in Northwood, surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable and decided to hire a butler. After much searching, they found the perfect one. One day, they instructed the butler to set up a dinner for four because they were inviting their friends, the Cohens, over for dinner and they will be going out for the day. When they returned that evening, they found the table set for six. When they asked the butler why six places were set when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four, the butler replied: "The Cohens called and said that they were bringing the Bagels."
