Named after the 1946 film Gilda, in which Rita Hayworth plays a heroine who’s salty, spicy, punchy yet elegant, the gilda is all that and more. Alex Szrok has riffed off the traditional combo and brought a little cheeky cheese and pineapple to the party too.

6 Fragata Hot Peppers Guindillas
6 anchovies, drained
6 pitted Spanish queen olives
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

French-inspired gildas

25g Gruyère, cut into 6 x 1.5cm rough cubes
6 slice/s No.1 Saucisson Sec, or 2 slices French torchon ham, each cut into 3 lengthways
6 cornichons
Dijon mustard, to serve

Mexican-inspired gildas

2 green chillies
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
30g Manchego, cut into 6 x 1.5cm cubes
50g pineapple, cut into 6 x 1.5cm cubes
Cooks’ Ingredients Mexican Style Seasoning, to serve

For the classic Spanish-inspired gildas, skewer one end of a hot pepper, one end of an anchovy and a whole olive, then skewer the other end of the anchovy above the olive, and the other end of the pepper over the anchovy. Repeat to make 6 gildas. Drizzle with the olive oil and serve.
For the French-inspired version, skewer a cube of Gruyère, a concertina of saucisson sec (or torchon ham), then a cornichon. Place a small dollop of Dijon mustard on a serving platter for each skewer to sit on.
For the Mexican-inspired skewers, cut 6 x 0.3cm rings from the chillies (deseeded for a milder taste) and put into a bowl with the white wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes.
For each gilda, skewer a cube of Manchego, a piece of the pickled chilli, then a cube of pineapple and place on a platter. Sprinkle generously with the seasoning and some sea salt flakes, to serve.
