Ingredients
- 20 pieces large green olives
- 10 pieces anchovy fillets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the anchovy fillets under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Cut each anchovy fillet in half lengthwise, creating thinner strips for easier stuffing into the olives.
Step 3
Use a toothpick or a small skewer to create an opening in each olive if they are not already pitted.
Step 4
Carefully stuff each olive with a half strip of anchovy fillet, using the toothpick to help gently push the anchovy inside the olive.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, finely chopped parsley, and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 6
Place the stuffed olives in a serving dish and drizzle them with the prepared olive oil mixture, tossing gently to coat each olive with the flavors.
Step 7
Refrigerate the stuffed olives for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve the keto anchovy-stuffed olives cold as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy!
