Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces large green olives
- 6 pieces anchovy fillets
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by rinsing the anchovy fillets with cold water to remove excess salt, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Finely chop the anchovy fillets and capers, then place them into a small mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper to the chopped anchovies and capers. Stir well to combine for a smooth paste.
Chop the parsley finely and add it to the mixture, stirring to distribute evenly.
Take each olive and make a small incision with a paring knife if not already pitted.
Using a small spoon or your fingers, stuff each olive with a small amount of the anchovy mixture, ensuring it's firmly filled.
Repeat this until all olives are stuffed.
Arrange the stuffed olives on a serving platter and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for enhanced flavor.
