These were very good and liked by those who ate. I let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for 48 hours. They held together while the cheese and lamb fat melted. They were a bit salty for my taste so I wouldn't add the salt. The cheese and olives lend enough on their own. I served with corkscrew pasta in a olive oil, butter, garlic and cilantro sauce. A wine from Southern Italy such as Aglianico del Ventura goes well!1Reply
