Ingredients:
  • 1½ pounds Pork
  • 1½ pounds Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 cup Green Olives (chopped)
  • 2/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 Eggs (beaten)
  • 1 Lemon Rind (grated)
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg (freshly-grated)
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Allspice
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Flour (for dredging)
  • Bread Crumbs
  • Olive Oil (for deep frying)
  • Tomato Gravy (for cooking chicken & pork)
How to make Italian Stuffed Olives:
  • Cook the pork and chicken breast in tomato gravy.
  • Cool the meats and separate them from the tomato gravy. Grind the meats in a food processor.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the ground meat, except green olives, beaten eggs, flour, bread crumbs and olive oil. Mix the ingredients well and refrigerate for an hour.
  • Take the mixture out of the refrigerator and shape into balls about the size of a small walnut.
  • Put half of an olive on each side of the rolled ball.
  • Flour each meat ball and dip it in beaten egg. Finally, dip in bread crumbs.
  • Fry the balls in olive oil, until golden brown in color. Don't cook them through, since the meats have already been cooked.
  • Serve the stuffed olives warm.
