A preparação
Passo a passo
- 1
Gather all your ingredients and arrange them neatly on a clean work surface to facilitate easy assembly.
Cerca de 1 min
Nota do cozinheiro: Having all components ready before you start threading will make the process much smoother and quicker.
- 2
Take one small wooden skewer and carefully thread one manzanilla olive onto its tip.
Cerca de 1 min
Nota do cozinheiro: Ensure the olive is firm enough to hold its shape on the skewer without splitting.
- 3
Next, gently thread one guindilla pepper onto the skewer, folding it in half if it is particularly long, so it sits snugly against the olive.
Cerca de 1 min
Nota do cozinheiro: Guindilla peppers are typically mild with a slight tang; adjust the quantity if you prefer more or less heat.

Follow with one anchovy fillet, carefully folding it in half lengthwise before threading it onto the skewer.
Cerca de 1 min
Nota do cozinheiro: Use high-quality anchovy fillets packed in olive oil for the best flavor. Pat them lightly with a paper towel if they are excessively oily.
- 5
Add another guindilla pepper to the skewer, folding it as before to create a balanced visual and flavor profile.
Cerca de 1 min
Nota do cozinheiro: The order of ingredients is traditional for a Gilda, ensuring a harmonious blend of tastes with each bite.
- 6
Finish the pintxo by threading a second manzanilla olive onto the skewer, securing all the components.
Cerca de 1 min
Nota do cozinheiro: The olives provide a briny counterpoint to the anchovy and pepper, completing the classic Gilda flavor.
- 7
Repeat this threading process to assemble the remaining 11 pintxos, ensuring each one has the same sequence of ingredients.
Cerca de 5 min
Nota do cozinheiro: You can prepare these just before serving for optimal freshness, or up to an hour in advance and keep them chilled.
- 8
Arrange the finished Gilda pintxos on a serving platter and present them immediately.
Cerca de 1 min
Nota do cozinheiro: For an extra touch, drizzle a tiny bit of the anchovy's olive oil over the assembled pintxos just before serving.
