Method

1. Sauté the lean beef mince in a small pan over medium heat for 5 minutes until cooked, then let it cool.
2. Blend the cooked meat with half the egg, the parmesan, and a pinch of nutmeg to form a thick paste.
3. Take the pitted olives and stuff each one with a small amount of the meat mixture.
4. Beat the remaining half egg in a small bowl and put the breadcrumbs in another.
5. Dip each stuffed olive first into the egg and then roll it in the breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly.
6. Place the olives in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
7. Cook at 200°C for 8-10 minutes until the coating is golden and very crunchy.
8. Serve hot as a perfect savoury snack.

Tips

• For a more authentic taste, use large green olives like the Ascolana Tenera variety.
• You can prepare a large batch and freeze them before cooking; just add 2-3 minutes to the air fryer time.
