Instructions
  1. In a large pan, brown the ground beef and pork over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the onion, carrot, and celery to the pan and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Deglaze the pan with white wine and let it reduce slightly.
  4. Stir in the chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
  5. Let the Filling cool completely.
  6. Using a small spoon or piping bag, stuff each olive with the cooled Filling.
  7. Dredge each stuffed olive in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  8. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Fry the olives in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  10. Remove the olives with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  11. Serve hot.
