Cook's tips to make the perfect gildas

Gildas traditionally use salted anchovies but we’ve used marinated ones for a sharper flavour. By all means used salted anchovies if you prefer.
You could double down on the anchovy by using olives stuffed with anchovies, if you like.

Effortless entertaining tip: Serve Martini Rosso or red vermouth with the anchovy skewers – this lushly fruity and spicy drink is delicious sipped neat over ice with a slice of citrus, or with two to three measures of prosecco and one measure of soda to make a spritz. Make it up in a jug if you want to pour several at once.
