Ingredients
8 extra-large green olives, unpitted
4 oil-packed anchovy fillets
2 piquillo peppers
1 garlic clove, unpeeled
3 tablespoons Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
Grated zest of 1/2 orange
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
Sea salt to taste
Method
1. Using the flat side of a knife, press each olive until the pit pops out, being careful not to split the olive in half. Cut the anchovy fillets lengthwise to create 8 long slices, and cut the piquillo peppers into eight 1/2-inch-wide strips.
2. Place 1 anchovy slice and 1 pepper strip in each olive. You can be generous with the filling, allowing the anchovy and pepper to spill out of the olive.
3. Split open the garlic clove by placing it on a chopping board and pressing down hard with the base of your hand or with the flat side of a knife. In a small bowl, mix the garlic, olive oil, orange zest, and vinegar.
4. Place the stuffed olives in the dressing and allow them to marinate for 30 minutes. Then sprinkle with a little sea salt and arrange them on a plate, with toothpicks for serving
Piquillo peppers are similar to pimientos. The can be bought in any supermarket where they sell Spanish goods or thru La Tienda online.
