Easy recipe of olives marinated in a delicious combination of herbs, spices, garlic, olive oil and vinegar. Perfect low carb appetizer for last minute entertaining or to include on meat and cheese platters. Warm the fennel seeds in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until fragrant.
Pipe 1/2 teaspoon blue cheese into each olive. May be stored in an airtight container, refrigerated, up to 1 day.
You could also use colby jack, monterey jack, mild cheddar, Gruyere…really, whatever cheese you like is going to be great here! You’ll also want some olives. I just did a traditional pimento stuffed green olive from a jar and some canned black olives.
Stuffed olives with: almonds, pimento, jalapeno, garlic or cheese, Place olives in bowls on the platter or cutting board or arrange them in groups. Fill empty spaces with a selection of nuts and berries, cheese (try Manchego and soft goat cheese) and selected meats like shaved ham, cooked cut sausage, or roasted chicken.
