Time 2m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 small pickled gherkin (or a small chunk of your favorite pickle)
2 guindilla pickled peppers (you can substitute a small chunk of pepperoncini)
1 pitted green olive
1 salted anchovy fillet

Steps:

  • Drain the olives and pickles, and remove the stalk of the guindillas. If the gherkins are too large for one mouthful, slice them in half.
  • Start by skewering the gherkin on a toothpick.
  • Next, skewer one extreme end of the anchovy fillet, followed by the guindilla peppers.
  • Skewer the other end of the anchovy fillet. The anchovy should now be threaded through the peppers.
  • Finish it by skewering the olive on top, and then dress your skewers in a bit of extra virgin olive oil.

GILDAS

Gilda means lollipop, and the classic Gilda is a simple assembly of a guindilla (Spanish chile pepper), an anchovy and an olive. The combination of good-quality pinkish anchovies, smallish, crisp, unwrinkled chillies and a freshly pitted olive produce a sophisticaded mélange.
