Method

Marinate the vegetables and herbs in the sunflower oil for half an hour to prevent them from drying out and to leave them glistening.
For each pintxo, lay 2 anchovy fillets on a slice of freshly toasted French bread. Spoon some of the marinated vegetables on top of the anchovies. Serve immediately.
