Crispy Olives With Calabrian Chile Sauce
Photographs by Emma Fishman

How to take olives from snack to PARTY snack? Buy pre-stuffed olives, then coat them in panko, fry until deep golden brown, and serve with Calabrian chile sauce. Pre-stuffed olives—we like them with garlic or cheese—make this appetizer easier, but feel free to switch up the type of olive you use and experiment with different stuffings of your own.
