Bacon Wrapped Olives
May 19th, 2006
One of my staples for tailgating, Bacon Wrapped Olives.
Take:
1/2 strip of bacon and wrap it around a large, stuffed green olive. Broil 3-5 minutes turning once.
However, for tailgating, I prefer to par-broil the bacon, then wrap the olive and refrigerate the night before. When you’ve reached your destination, pop them on the grill until the bacon crisps.
For an added twist to my par-broiling method, after refrigerating for a couple of hours to cool, batter them with your favorite onion ring batter* and deep fry until crisp.
*My handy onion ring batter:
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
few dashes of hot sauce
