It’s hard to find good anchovy recipes (especially since the other half is not too fond of them, but I love them!) and this one will definitely be in the rotation pretty soon! Even if I have to eat them all myself!
hello Peggy! thanks for the visit and comment!
anchovy are very tasty! you can cook them as the recipe says and then add them also in a lettuce salad! If your other half eats salads, maybe will take a bite….
Those look so unbelievable; I just want to dig in. Thank you for this perfectly simple recipe.
my pleasure!
that is great. I need some nice crisp wine to go with this.
it s anchovy season.. yummy:)
Oh my gosh, this look sooo yummy. I think it’d go perfectly on pizza! I posted about the pizza I made last night on my website this morning; check it out! I can just imagine all that salty goodness on some herb garlic dough
These anchovies remind me of Thassos! one of my favorite mezzes!
I love anchovies and these look so fresh. Nothing like the ones sitting in my fridge, tightly squeezed in their jar! These would be great with just a piece of good crusty bread.
