Crispy Olives

[judydawn]

Is your photo of the ricotta & salami fundj?  Did you pipe it on after you cooked the balls of pastry and is there an olive under there?  I don't eat olives but I might try ricotta & salami - could you just wrap the pastry around a small ball of that mixture?

Judydawn the pastry is very easy to work with, have you made them b4

I do the salami ones the same, some flat dough in your hand, fill,then cover with more dough.

The photo with one is the olive one
The other photo is a mix olives, salami and ricotta, sun dried tomatoes with feta cheese. The olive one is the easiest to work with.   

Ciao

No I haven't made them before fundj but I would like to try this recipe with something other than olives.

Do you like anchovies?

Do you think these would freeze? I'd like to take some away with me.

I've frozen the dough Cookie but wonder whether they would lose some of the crispness if you froze them after cooking....   Can you pop them in an oven to crisp them up while you are away?

[Frozzie]

katya i would do as isi has done and freeze them once made but not cooked...you would just have to freeze them flat and label them well for fillings etc but isi mentioned earlier that she does this then lets them defrost for around 20 minutes then cooks as usual

Do you like anchovies?

Only if they are disguised or hidden in things fundj.

Just bumping this one..........if u like olives give them ago

 A friend of mine made a variation of this last week...hers was more cheesy and non TMX...can cook straight from freezer to oven ...just allow an extra 5 mins cooking time

[fundj&e]

did you like them  courton ?

these are very popular at parties with dieters, they think its just something small and not fattening  I suppose in the big picture they're not all that fattening because the olive is the main portion and the rest is just a crust covering.

Uni, I thought the olives she used were too strong in flavour. I am sure it will be yummy if some other filling had been used.

Would these be o.k. to make up the night before and cook the next day?.....or do you think they'll become too soggy in fridge  to crisp up when baked?

[judydawn]

Mmm, good question Maddy, isi said they can be frozen unbaked, just remove how many you want and allow to thaw for about 20 minutes before baking normally but not sure about just leaving them in the fridge until the next day. I'd be inclined to make ahead and freeze but leave some out and try your idea as well.
