Ingredients

1 small pickled gherkin or a small chunk of your favorite pickle
2 guindillas (Spanish pickled peppers) or peperoncini
1 pitted green olive
1 salted anchovy fillet

Instructions

Drain the olives and pickles, and remove the stalk of the guindillas. If the gherkins are too large for one mouthful, slice them in half.
Start by skewering the gherkin on a toothpick.
Next, skewer one extreme end of the anchovy fillet, followed by the guindilla peppers.
Skewer the other end of the anchovy fillet. The anchovy should now be threaded through the peppers. Finish it by skewering the olive on top.
Repeat by making as many skewers as you'd like, then drizzle them with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy!

Notes

This Gilda recipe is for one serving, so repeat the steps to make as many skewers as you need. Trust me, you'll always need more than one--even if it's just for you!
Jazz up your Gilda by adding other garnishes. A hard-boiled quail egg is a great addition, as well as small pieces of soft cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. Make it your own!
The better quality the anchovies, the better this pintxo will be! Ideally, go for a good brand that comes from the refrigerated section. Ortiz is a good brand that can be found in online shops around the world.
