Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Large green olives
- 12 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the anchovy fillets under cold water to remove any excess salt and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut each anchovy fillet in half lengthwise, creating 24 anchovy strips.
Use a small knife or an olive stuffer tool to carefully make an incision in each olive and remove the pit if they are not already pitted.
Insert a strip of anchovy into the cavity of each olive, ensuring it is snugly fitted.
In a small bowl, mix extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, finely chopped parsley, and ground black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the stuffed olives, making sure each olive is well-coated.
Transfer the olives to a serving dish and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator to enhance the flavors.
Remove from the fridge and let them come to room temperature before serving.
Serve as a delightful appetizer or alongside a cheese and charcuterie board.
