Method
step 1
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.
step 3
Heat a frying pan with 2cm olive oil until a piece of bread browns in 30 seconds. Fry the olives in batches until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle with sea salt.
