Will definitely impress others! To fill the olives, use a pastry bag or plastic baggie with the corner cut out. What works best is a cookie press. Also, you can use bottled roasted garlic, but I like to make my own.

Tips:

  • Select firm, ripe olives: Look for olives that are plump and have a deep green color. Avoid olives that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you make clean cuts and avoid tearing the olives.
  • Pit the olives carefully: Use a small, sharp knife to remove the pit from each olive. Be careful not to cut too deeply, as this can damage the olive.
  • Make the stuffing ahead of time: The stuffing can be made up to a day in advance. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the olives.
  • Stuff the olives evenly: Use a small spoon to stuff the olives with the garlic mixture. Be sure to stuff them evenly so that each olive has the same amount of filling.
  • Chill the olives before serving: Chilling the olives for at least 30 minutes before serving will help them to firm up and develop their flavor.

Conclusion:

Garlic stuffed green olives are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover olives. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these olives at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give garlic stuffed green olives a try!
