Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Large green olives
- 12 fillets Anchovy fillets
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by draining and rinsing the olives to remove excess brine and pat them dry with a paper towel.
If the olives are not pitted, carefully cut them open lengthwise and remove the pits without splitting the olives completely.
Cut each anchovy fillet in half lengthwise to create thin strips for stuffing.
Using your fingers, stuff each olive with a halved anchovy fillet, ensuring the anchovy is fully enclosed within the olive.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper, whisking them together to form a marinade.
Place the stuffed olives in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the olives, tossing gently to coat all the surfaces evenly.
Let the olives marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the marinated olives as a garnish just before serving.
Serve the anchovy-stuffed olives as an appetizer or as part of a tapas spread, ensuring all guests enjoy the delightful, briny flavor.
