• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Rinse the anchovy fillets under cold water to remove excess salt and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the stuffed olives.

Step 7

Add the lemon zest and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the olives.

Gently toss the olives in the bowl to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil, lemon zest, pepper, and parsley.

Step 10

Transfer the anchovy-stuffed olives to a serving dish and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
