Deep Fried Olives Recipe
Description
This recipe uses garlic-stuffed olives drained from their jar, coated first in beaten egg, then Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. The olives are fried in olive oil heated to 350°F for around 45 seconds until golden and crispy. The quick frying preserves the olive's briny flavor while adding a crunchy breaded crust.
The accompanying garlic aioli is made with mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, chilled before serving. The aioli's sharp garlic taste complements the fried olives and adds moisture.
This dish is served warm, ideal as an appetizer or snack. The quick frying time helps maintain olive texture while providing a crisp exterior. A substitute for the egg wash can be used to accommodate egg-free diets.

Instructions
- Make the garlic aioli dipping sauce by mixing all the ingredients together and then chill the sauce in the refrigerator before serving.

- Place the egg in a small bowl and beat with a fork or whisk. Add the olives and coat well.
- Pour the bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Transfer the egg-soaked olives to the plate and evenly coat in bread crumbs.
