    Maltese stuffed olives called zebbug mimli are a lovely little snack or appetizer.  These stuffed green olives can be found at nearly every festive occasion.  They can be served by themselves or with some cheese and salami for a lovely little meze.  In Malta these can be bought already stuffed but there is nothing like a little homemade touch and they are quite easy to make, the hardest part is stuffing the olives.  I used a little trick, I just put the stuffing into a sandwich baggie and clipped a bit of one corner, piping the stuffing in. It worked great.  We loved the stuffing which made quite a bit which we enjoyed as a spread on crackers as well.

    Ingredients

    • 1 large jar of colossal pitted green olives
    • 1 can of tuna in oil drained

    • 3 garlic cloves
    • olive oil

    Instructions

    • In a blender or food processor put the tuna, anchovies, and garlic on low speed. Add olive oil until you get a smooth paste.
    • When the stuffing mixture is done start filling the olives one by one. You can use a piping bag, a teaspoon or a sandwich baggie with a corner clipped. Any which method will do the trick.
    • Watch them disappear. You can use any extra filling on crackers, or bread. YUM!
