Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces large green olives (pitted)
- 10 fillets anchovy fillets
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the anchovy fillets. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess oil if they are packed in oil.
Cut each anchovy fillet in half lengthwise to create thin strips.
Stuff each olive with a strip of anchovy by gently pushing the anchovy into the pitted cavity of the olive. Repeat this for all the olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the stuffed olives in a serving dish and drizzle the olive oil mixture over them.
If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of freshness and color.
Let the olives marinate at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the anchovy-stuffed olives as a tasty appetizer or snack option, and enjoy within the context of your Whole30 plan.
