- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the large green olives under cold water to remove any brine. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
On a cutting board, cut each anchovy fillet in half lengthwise.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, extra-virgin olive oil, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and black pepper to make a flavorful paste.
Step 4
Gently slice the olives lengthwise on one side to open them up while keeping them whole on the other side.
Step 5
Insert half an anchovy fillet into each olive, ensuring it fits snugly inside.
Step 6
Using a small spoon, stuff a small amount of the prepared lemon-herb mixture into each olive along with the anchovy.
Step 7
Once all the olives are stuffed, arrange them neatly on a serving platter.
Step 8
Drizzle any remaining lemon-herb mixture over the top of the olives for extra flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and savory taste.
