Easy Tapas: Matiz Banderillas
The name banderillas refers to any type of Spanish tapa that includes little bites impaled on a stick. They are named after the darts used in bullfighting, and are perfect as snacks or appetizers. This simple recipe uses traditional Spanish pickled veggies, award-winning smoked olive oil, and anchovies. The recipe calls specifically for Boquerones, which are white anchovies in vinegar, oil, and salt. While we don’t have these in the store, try our jarred anchovies with red pepper flakes!

- 1 jar Matiz Piparras Peppers
- 16 Boquerones white anchovies or Scalia Anchovy Fillets with Red Pepper Flakes

- 1/2 bunch Italian parsley finely chopped
Instructions
