In collaboration with Fragata.
Fire up any of your upcoming parties with these juicy manzanilla olives stuffed with chorizo and marinated with sweet tomatoes, red onion, and herbs.
Olives are definitely a flavour that I’ve grown into over the years and during adulthood is when I really fell in love with them It’s that inherent salty taste that I adore, which helps to balance sweeter flavours. In the Mediterranean, olives and tomatoes are regularly served together, whether that be in a sauce, with meat or fish, salads, pizzas, pasta dishes – it’s a classic pairing. I thought that it would be great to use both ingredients when experimenting with some more marinated olive recipes.

The sweet and salty flavour combination is right up my street which is achieved by using the naturally sweet tomatoes and obviously the olives. These manzanilla olives from Fragata are hiding a tasty secret, they’re filled with chorizo. So not only do you get that saltiness from the olives you also get that sweet smoky flavour too. They’re a really nice idea to use if you’re looking to add a different flavour combination easily to a dish or wanting to serve up something a bit different at any upcoming parties to impress your guests.

You can get them in Waitrose.
My parents have started to get into olives now they have got older (slightly my fault) and are always asking about ways to do something slightly different with them, so I will have to mention this idea.
That would be lovely, thank you.
My whole life I hated olives, then I tried some in Provence and now i love them. I am all for eating them plain or pimping them up.
I was the same, for some I think it’s a taste you grow in to.
This looks like such a nice side dish or something to start with, the olives look so fresh x
Thank you!
Ooh great idea to add your own extras and dressing to olives! Takes them up a notch for a dinner party.
Exactly! A nice way to add your own twist to them.
Olives stuffed with chorizo? Whatever will they come up with next? My husband would love these.
It’s amazing how creative they’re becoming with olives.
Love chorizo and olives! Yum.
Just a little feedback… when I view your site on my phone the viewing screen is quite small because of your pop ups (your free ebook at the top that you can’t close, as well as the cookie notification at the bottom that I also can’t accept because of the social media plugins at the bottom). I love your blog but just wanted to let you know what I’ve found!
Thanks for the feedback Anna, so helpful. I will take a look and make some amendments based on this. ?
My husband is a huge Olive fan – I haven’t seen these before, I think he would love them!
They’re so good! Definitely worth a try.
These look absolutely gorgeous. I’m a huge Olive fan, in fact, I could happily sit and eat a fair few come evening time so these are right up my street x
Fab! I’m a massive fan of olives too.
I’ve never been one for olives but I will be sure to show my mum who loves them this
Oh man, these look AMAZING!
Thank you!
Manzanilla Olives are our favourite but would need to skip the chorizo as we’re wusses in this house and prefer garlic x Still look yummy though x
It’s not at all spicy with chilli heat, you just get that smokiness coming through.
I’ve never been a fan of olives but I do love chorizo so maybe I should try these and see if like my palette has changed over the years
Definitely worth a try, they’re delicious.
I only got into olives once I started ordering vodka martinis- I love how salty they are!
The best comment ever, ha!
anything with chorizo is instantly a winner in my books. I love eating it so much
Yay! I hope you like these olives then.
Ooh I wish they served this on the tables at restaurants, it’s much more exciting than just a plate of olives!
They would be a treat if they did! ?
Yum! I love snacks like this, plenty of strong, fresh flavours and a lot of variety too, so you never get bored 🙂
Thanks Emily. I love those fresh flavours too.
two of my favourite things together – whats not to love!!
Mine too!
