Servings: persons

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup dried bread crumbs
40 green or black brined olives, such as Manzanilla, Kalamata, Gaeta, or Nicoise, drained and pitted
Shards of cooked salt cod, drained canned tuna in oil,
, Serrano ham, or proscuitto
Minced hard-boiled egg
Firm sheep's-milk cheese, such as Nisa, Evora, or Percorino Toscano
Roasted Almonds
Anchovies
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
Lemon wedges, for serving

1
Fill three bowls, from left to right, with the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs. Stuff the olives with your choice of fillings.
2
Spear and olive with a toothpick and twirl it in the flour to coat evenly, swirl it in the egg, and then roll it in the bread crumbs. Use a fork to pop it off the toothpick onto a plate. Repeat until all of the olives are crumbed. Those who like to get their hands dirty can eschew the toothpick.
3
Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a medium saucepan until it reaches 350u00b0F on a deep-fat thermometer or a candy thermometer. Place a few of the olives at a time in the bowl of a slotted metal spoon and lower them into the oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, less than 1 minute. Fish out the olives with a spoon and transfer them to paper towels. Spritz them with lemon while sizzling, if you like. Serve hot.
