My favorite martinis are those filled with blue cheese stuffed olives! I wanted to make homemade stuffed olives to serve with a do it yourself steakhouse martini bar and they did not disappoint! I started with Roquefort blue cheese and blended it with a little cream cheese and piped it into olives. I then marinated the olives with a splash of olive oil, red pepper, lemon zest and minced rosemary. They are rich and D to the LISH paired with the perfect dirty martini or eaten by themselves! Enjoy!
