- Sprinkle with chopped anchovies, making sure each pepper gets the equivalent of a whole anchovy fillet.
- Evenly distribute the sliced garlic among the peppers.
- Carefully pour the olive oil over the peppers.
- Sprinkle with just a little bit of salt (because of anchovies) and lots of freshly ground black pepper.
