Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces large green olives
- 10 pieces anchovy fillets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the anchovy fillets under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut each anchovy fillet in half lengthwise, creating thinner strips for easier stuffing into the olives.
Use a toothpick or a small skewer to create an opening in each olive if they are not already pitted.
Carefully stuff each olive with a half strip of anchovy fillet, using the toothpick to help gently push the anchovy inside the olive.
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, finely chopped parsley, and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the stuffed olives in a serving dish and drizzle them with the prepared olive oil mixture, tossing gently to coat each olive with the flavors.
Refrigerate the stuffed olives for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the keto anchovy-stuffed olives cold as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy!
