Steps:

• Drain olives.
• Peel garlic, stuff into olives.
• Large cloves may be cut to fit.
• Put stuffed olives into a jar (we use a pickle or mason jars).
• Add enough olive oil to cover.
• Add seasonings and chili.
• Seal, shake to mix.
• Let marinate for a few hours (or a day).

Steps:

• Beat the cream cheese and heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold in the olives, chives, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe into the celery, then dust with paprika.

Steps:

• Chuck Hughes' scrumptious deep fried stuffed olives are a bar snack that can't be beat.
• For the olives: Place the olives in a bowl and cover over with water. While preparing the stuffings, let them soak about 30 minutes to remove the excess salt. Drain the water, rinse the olives and dry completely with a paper towel.
• For the stuffings: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the shallots. Add the ground veal, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook about 5 minutes. Add the veal stock and continue to cook over medium heat until the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the veal mixture to a bowl. Add the Parmesan, parsley, breadcrumbs and egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix together and set aside.
• To assemble: Starting from the end (opposite the hole on top), cut the olive away from the pit in a spiral, as if you're peeling an apple. The olive will coil. Place the olive meat in a bowl.
• Pinch a bit of the veal mixture between your thumb and forefinger and roll into a small ball. Shape the olive meat from half the olives around the filling, so the olive regains its original shape. Place on a baking tray, cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Proceed the same way for remaining olives and the gorgonzola cheese.
• Coat the olives lightly in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs. To avoid the stuffing from seeping out, repeat the process twice to get a thick breading. Set aside.
• Pour the olive oil into a medium frying pan and heat until the oil bubbles. Fry the olives until the breading is golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Serve the olives while warm.
