How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. To make the Gilda

    To make the Gilda: Thread one olive, one folded anchovy fillet, one pickled Guindilla pepper, and a second olive onto a toothpick. Repeat for all 12 pieces.

  2. Heat the olive oil

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo slices and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until slightly crispy and the fat has rendered.

    3 min
  3. Drizzle the honey

    Drizzle the honey over the chorizo in the pan and toss quickly to coat and glaze the meat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat.

    1 min
  4. Place each glazed chorizo slice

    Place each glazed chorizo slice onto a round of baguette and secure with a toothpick. Serve alongside the Gildas.

A little kitchen wisdom

Always use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor. Pintxos are traditionally served with a small glass of Txakoli wine or a cold beer.

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

The Gildas can be assembled 2 hours in advance and kept refrigerated.

Store & enjoy

Store Gilda skewers in an airtight container with a little oil. Chorizo pintxos are best eaten immediately. Reheat chorizo briefly in a pan if necessary, but the bread may soften.
