Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Boquerones

    Start by rinsing the boquerones under cold water to remove any excess salt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Boquerones

    In a bowl, combine the boquerones with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and the white wine vinegar. Add sea salt to taste. Let them marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing Guindilla Peppers

  1. 3

    Clean the Peppers

    Wash the guindilla peppers under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Peppers

    In a skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the guindilla peppers and sauté until they are slightly blistered, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the marinated boquerones. Top them with the sautéed guindilla peppers.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish for garnish.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Gildas as a tapas dish, best enjoyed with a glass of wine.
