    ingredients

    Large green olives (buy either pitted or with the stone, in which case you will have to halve and remove the pits yourself)

    Method

    Filling suggestions:
    I’ve used a base layer of mozzarella then added 1 additional topping in each olive and a herb where relevant.

    • Fresh mozzarella in whey, drained, sliced and then placed between kitchen towels to absorb excess water. Cut to fit the olives.
       
    • Roasted and peeled red or yellow capsicums, sliced. (I used El Navarrico piquillo pepper strips)
       
    • Tinned squid, sliced (I used Albo stuffed squid in American sauce)
       
    • Chorizo sausage, sliced and pan-fried, drained on kitchen towels
       
    • ​White or regular anchovies
