This technique creates one continuous strip that can be wrapped around the filling, ensuring even coverage. Why double bread the olives? Double breading ensures a sturdy coating that won't break during frying and creates an extra crispy exterior. Can I make the filling ahead? Yes, the filling can be made up to two days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Why use celery leaves? Celery leaves contain more flavor than the stalks and add extra depth to the filling. How do I know if the oil is the right temperature? The olives should take about 1 minute to brown. If they brown faster, the oil is too hot and the filling won't cook through.
