Ingredients
- 24 whole Green olives
- 12 fillets Anchovy fillets
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing each anchovy fillet in half lengthwise, resulting in thin strips.
Step 2
Roughly chop the garlic clove, then finely chop the fresh parsley.
Step 3
Using a small paring knife, gently create a slit along one side of each green olive, ensuring you reach the pit.
Step 4
Carefully remove the pit from each olive while keeping the olive as intact as possible.
Step 5
Insert a strip of anchovy fillet into each olive where the pit was removed, using gentle pressure to avoid breaking the olive.
Step 6
In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, chopped garlic, lemon zest, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 7
Place the stuffed olives into the mixing bowl and gently toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
Step 8
Transfer the olives to a serving dish and let them sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Serve the anchovy-stuffed olives as an appetizer, accompanied by crusty bread or as part of a tapas platter.
