Cooking time: 15 min

A classic dish found in and around bars all over Spain, it has been on the menu at Taberna de Haro since I opened in 1998.  Matrimonio has always been one of my favorite plates with a glass or three of bristling and bright Manzanilla.

Ingredients

Quick tips

Pair with Almacenista Manuel Cuevas Jurado Manzanilla Pasada bottled by Emilio Lustau. It is savory like the sea and sunny like a lemon, with light notes of oxidation that add a sultry depth.

Instructions

Matrimonio

Assemble on a plate, alternating the boquerones and cured anchovies, and pile the olives to the side.  Garnish with a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil and minced parsley.  Serve and enjoy!
