6 serves

• 300g (10.5 oz) Parthenon Green olives stuffed with red peppers
• 200 g (7 oz) flour

• 2 egg whites
• Grated rind of 1 lemon

Prepare the batter by beating all the ingredients together in a bowl. The batter must have a quite thick consistency. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Dip the olives in the batter and fry them until golden brown. Place them on a plate lined with absorbent paper towels to drain and serve them hot as a starter dish.
