garlic mayo
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed

To make the garlic mayo, mix the garlic, saffron and mayonnaise. For the stuffing, cut the cheese, salami and anchovies into small pieces and stuff them separately into the olive cavities.
- STEP 2
Roll the olives in the flour, then the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Repeat twice so you get a good coating of breadcrumbs.
