Do you love the tangy and briny taste of Greek olives? Why not try making your own Greek-style stuffed olives at home? Not only is it a fun and rewarding cooking project, but you’ll also have a delicious snack or appetizer to enjoy! Follow our step-by-step guide below to learn how to make Greek-style stuffed olives.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 jar of large green olives
  • Filling ingredients of your choice (e.g., feta cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic, almonds)
  • Olive oil
  • Toothpicks

Step 1: Prepare the Olives

Start by draining and rinsing the jar of olives to remove any excess brine. Once rinsed, carefully pat the olives dry with a paper towel. This will help the filling adhere better.

Step 2: Choose and Prepare the Filling

The filling options for stuffed olives are endless, but some classic Greek choices include feta cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic, and almonds. You can either choose one filling or create a variety of stuffed olives with different fillings. Simply chop or crumble the ingredients into small pieces and set them aside.

Step 3: Stuff the Olives

Using a sharp knife, carefully make a slit along the side of each olive, lengthwise. Take a small amount of your chosen filling and gently stuff it into the slit of each olive. Be careful not to overstuff, as you want to ensure the olives hold together.

Step 4: Secure with Toothpicks

Once all the olives are stuffed, gently secure each olive closed by inserting a toothpick through the slit. This will help keep the filling intact while enjoying the stuffed olives.

Step 5: Store and Marinate

Place the stuffed olives in a clean jar or container and pour enough olive oil over them to completely cover the olives. The olive oil not only adds flavor but also helps preserve the olives. Seal the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 24 hours before enjoying.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

After the marinating time, your Greek-style stuffed olives are ready to be enjoyed! Remove them from the refrigerator, remove the toothpicks, and serve as a snack or appetizer. They are perfect for adding to a Greek salad or antipasto platter as well.

With this step-by-step guide, making Greek-style stuffed olives at home is a breeze. Experiment with different fillings and flavors to create your own unique combinations. Enjoy the satisfaction and delicious taste of homemade stuffed olives!
