Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces pitted green olives
- 10 pieces anchovy fillets
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the anchovy fillets under cold water to remove excess salt and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut each anchovy fillet in half lengthwise using a sharp knife.
Stuff each pitted green olive with a half piece of anchovy fillet. Carefully insert the anchovy into the olive hole, using your fingers or a small utensil to push it in completely.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
Place the stuffed olives in a mixing bowl.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the stuffed olives.
Add the lemon zest and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the olives.
Gently toss the olives in the bowl to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil, lemon zest, pepper, and parsley.
Transfer the anchovy-stuffed olives to a serving dish and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
