Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Large green olives (low sodium)
- 12 fillets Anchovy fillets, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the large green olives under cold water to remove any brine. Pat them dry with paper towels.
On a cutting board, cut each anchovy fillet in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, extra-virgin olive oil, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and black pepper to make a flavorful paste.
Gently slice the olives lengthwise on one side to open them up while keeping them whole on the other side.
Insert half an anchovy fillet into each olive, ensuring it fits snugly inside.
Using a small spoon, stuff a small amount of the prepared lemon-herb mixture into each olive along with the anchovy.
Once all the olives are stuffed, arrange them neatly on a serving platter.
Drizzle any remaining lemon-herb mixture over the top of the olives for extra flavor.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and savory taste.
