Classic gilda

Serves 5

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

10 pitted Manzanilla olives , plus 2 T brine
10 anchovies in oil, plus 2 T of the oil
10 Woolworths El Navarrico Guindilla peppers, plus 2 T of the vinegar
70 g Woolworths Serrano ham
sea salt, a pinch

Method

1 Place an olive at the base of a small skewer, then thread on an anchovy, pepper and a slice of the ham. Repeat until all the ingredients have been used.

2 To make the dressing, mix the olive brine, anchovy oil and pepper vinegar. Pour over the skewers.

3 Serve with vermouth, crisp white wine, beer or, my favourite, a negroni.

Cook’s note: You can make these in advance and store in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before serving. Use different olives, or add roasted peppers or other pickled fish.
