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.
