Walnut-crusted fried pimento-stuffed olives, a crowd-pleasing party appetizer.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups California walnuts
  • 1.5 cups fresh, unseasoned bread crumbs
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 pound pimento-stuffed green olives, drained
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 quarts canola oil
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with walnuts.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until nuts are golden brown and fragrant, for about 10 to 15 minutes. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
  • Pulse walnuts and bread crumbs in a food processor until finely ground, keeping the mixture light and airy. Transfer to a shallow pan and set aside.
  • Whisk eggs and water in a shallow bowl. Spread flour on a plate. Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Coat olives in beaten eggs, flour, beaten eggs, and walnut mixture. Place on baking sheet and chill for 2 hours before frying.
  • First, preheat the oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 360°F (180°C). Then, gently lower 12 olives into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown, which should take about 45 seconds. Place them briefly on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat this process with the remaining olives. Finally, serve the fried olives warm.
