Instructions

  1. 1Thoroughly wash the anchovy fillets. Chop them very fine with the parsley and chives (or Bermuda onion). Place the mixture into a mortar and pound well, adding the paprika.
  2. 2Cut the olives in half and remove the pits. Fill each olive half with the anchovy mixture.
  3. 3Cut small rounds of bread, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Remove a small circle of bread from the center of each round, similar in size to the olives. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the bread rounds on both sides until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
