Preparation
Preparing the Skewers
Drain Anchovies
Drain the anchovy fillets well and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Ensure the anchovies are dry to prevent the skewers from becoming soggy. Pro Tip: If you want a less salty option, rinse the anchovy fillets briefly in water and pat dry.
Slice Peppers
Slice the guindilla peppers in half if they are larger than the olives.
Prep Ingredients
Prepare your ingredients for assembly: olives, anchovies, and peppers should be within easy reach.
Cooking Process
Assemble Skewers
Alternate threading an olive, anchovy fillet, and guindilla pepper onto each skewer, ensuring they're packed tightly for a robust bite.
Drizzle Oil
Drizzle with a light touch of extra-virgin olive oil for an enriching taste.
