Ingredients
- 24 pieces large green olives
- 12 fillets anchovy fillets
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 pieces toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Begin by draining the green olives if they are stored in brine, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Slice the anchovy fillets in half lengthwise, resulting in 24 thin strips.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, chopped capers, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Using a small spoon or a piping bag with a narrow tip, fill each olive with approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture.
Step 5
Take a halved anchovy fillet and gently wrap it around the stuffed olive, pressing lightly so it adheres to the cream cheese.
Step 6
Insert a toothpick through each olive to hold the anchovy in place and create an easy-to-grab appetizer.
Step 7
Arrange the stuffed olives on a serving platter. Optionally, chill them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve as a sophisticated appetizer or alongside a spread of charcuterie and enjoy the rich, savory bite of each high-protein olive.
