  • step 2

    Roll the olives in the flour, then the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Repeat twice so you get a good coating of breadcrumbs.

  • step 3

    Heat a frying pan with 2cm olive oil until a piece of bread browns in 30 seconds. Fry the olives in batches until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle with sea salt.
