Elaboració
Pas a pas
- 1
Gently remove the anchovy fillets from their oil, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on a small plate.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Using high-quality anchovies packed in olive oil will significantly enhance the flavor of your Gildas.

Take one anchovy fillet and carefully fold it in half lengthwise, then fold it in half again to create a compact, small bundle.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Folding the anchovy neatly ensures it stays securely on the skewer and provides a pleasant texture.
- 3
Thread one pitted green olive onto a small skewer or toothpick, pushing it about halfway down the skewer.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Ensure your olives are firm and good quality, as they are a central component of this pintxo.

Next, carefully thread the folded anchovy fillet onto the skewer, positioning it snugly against the green olive.

Finish by threading one guindilla pepper onto the skewer, ensuring all ingredients are securely held together.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Guindilla peppers provide a mild, tangy heat. If unavailable, a small pickled pepperoncini can be a substitute, though the flavor will differ slightly.

Repeat this assembly process to create a total of 6 Gildas skewers, ensuring each has one olive, one anchovy bundle, and one guindilla pepper.
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Prepare all your ingredients (olives, anchovies, peppers) in separate bowls before you start assembling to streamline the process.

Conservació
These classic Spanish pintxos are incredibly versatile. Serve them alongside other tapas like patatas bravas or tortilla española for a full Spanish experience. They pair wonderfully with a crisp, dry white wine like Albariño or a chilled glass of Fino sherry. For a slight variation, you can add a small pickled onion or a piece of roasted red pepper to the skewer.
Store any leftover Gildas in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept for a short period.
Gildas are served cold and do not require reheating.
