Rukmini Iyer’s quick and easy recipe for gildas in carriages

Gildas, a delightful pre-dinner snack, takes inspiration from Brett in Glasgow, offering a mix of olives, anchovies, and green chili for a flavorful experience. This recipe combines lemon-spiked artichoke and chili tapenade with focaccia, using Perelló olives and Ortiz anchovies for a rich, spicy treat. Quick preparation involves preheating the oven to 200C (390F/gas 6), slicing focaccia into strips, and blending artichokes with olive oil, salt, lemon juice, and chili for a tangy-tasty mix. Serve with croutons topped with olives and anchovies as a vibrant starter or pre-drink snack.
