Ingredients

• 24 pieces Large green olives
• 12 fillets Anchovy fillets
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by draining and rinsing the olives to remove excess brine and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

If the olives are not pitted, carefully cut them open lengthwise and remove the pits without splitting the olives completely.

Step 3

Cut each anchovy fillet in half lengthwise to create thin strips for stuffing.

Step 4

Using your fingers, stuff each olive with a halved anchovy fillet, ensuring the anchovy is fully enclosed within the olive.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper, whisking them together to form a marinade.

Step 6

Place the stuffed olives in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the olives, tossing gently to coat all the surfaces evenly.

Step 7

Let the olives marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the marinated olives as a garnish just before serving.

Step 9

Serve the anchovy-stuffed olives as an appetizer or as part of a tapas spread, ensuring all guests enjoy the delightful, briny flavor.
