Ingredients:

Serving

vegetable oil (for frying )
1/4 cup ricotta cheese, room temperature
2 oz chevre cheese, room temperature
the leaves from 3 stems thyme
1/2 lemon , zest of
1 cup flour
1 cup seltzer water ( perrier)
2 tbsp seltzer water ( perrier)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
40 nicoise olives, pitted
40 large green olives, pitted
fleur de sel
lemon wedge

Directions:

Fill a cast iron skillet at least 1 inch deep with vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat, and bring to 350°F.
Meanwhile, make the filling. Mix together the ricotta, chevre, thyme, and lemon zest. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Make the batter, by whisking together the flour, Perrier, baking powder, and salt.
Dip the black olives in the batter, and fry in batches. They will be golden and puffed in 30 to 60 seconds.
Meanwhile, fit a baggie with a pastry tip, and fill with the ricotta mixture. Pipe the green olives with just a bit of the stuffing. Then, dip them in the batter as with the black olives, and fry 60 to 90 seconds.
Drain all the olives on paper towel, and sprinkle with fleur de sel or sea salt, and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
