Gilda Pintxo

Ingredients

• •Green olives
• •Pickled guindilla peppers
• •Anchovy fillets
• •Cocktail sticks
• •Baguette
• •Olive oil

Steps

1. 1Lay out a small cocktail stick for each pintxo you plan to make.
2. 2Thread a plump green olive onto the stick first, pushing it down toward one end.
3. 3Fold a cured anchovy fillet in half and thread it onto the stick next to the olive, so it drapes slightly.
4. 4Add a whole pickled guindilla pepper alongside the anchovy, threading it through its stem end so it sits securely.
5. 5Repeat the pattern of olive, anchovy, and pepper once more on the same stick for a fuller bite, if desired.
6. 6Arrange the finished skewers on a small plate or directly on a slice of baguette.
7. 7Drizzle lightly with good olive oil just before serving.
8. 8Set the pintxos out on a bar counter for guests to help themselves, in the traditional style of Basque tapas bars, where diners pick and choose freely as they move from bar to bar.
