How to Make Gildas

Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Drain the olives, anchovies and chillies and pat dry on kitchen paper.

  3. Arrange on a plate and drizzle with the oil.

  4. Serve cold.

A Few Notes

Drain and dry each ingredient.

Put the anchovy between the olive and the chilli.

Make plenty, as they vanish quickly.

Changing the Recipe

  • Dried chilli flakes can stand in for the chillies. Heat varies a great deal between chillies and between jars, so start with a small pinch and add more to taste.

Leftovers

Keeps for up to 2 hours at room temperature; after that, cover and refrigerate.
