Pintxo Gilda (Basque Pepper, Olive, and Anchovy Skewers)

Gilda skewers are one of the most famous Basque pintxos (tapas). In Spain, they are made with anchovies, mancanilla olives (ideally stuffed with anchovies), and pickled piparra peppers, a Basque pepper, which are hard to find here. Use pepperoncini instead.
