Ingredients

Instructions

  • Drain the guindilla peppers and anchovy fillets from their respective jars. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess oil or brine.
  • Take a toothpick and start by skewering a guindilla pepper.
  • Follow with an olive, ensuring it's snug against the pepper.
  • Fold an anchovy fillet in half and skewer it onto the toothpick, wrapping it around the olive and pepper if possible.
  • Repeat the assembly process until all 12 toothpicks are prepared with peppers, olives, and anchovies.
  • Arrange the prepared pintxos on a serving platter in a neat pattern.
  • Lightly drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the pintxos. This will enhance their flavor and add a beautiful sheen.
  • Serve the Gilda Pintxos immediately as a tapas or appetizer. These are best enjoyed fresh!
