Serves 4

Ingredients

Fresh anchovies
500g, cleaned and filleted
White wine vinegar
1 cup
Salt
to taste
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Fresh parsley
1/2 cup, chopped
Extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup
Crusty bread
for serving

Instructions

  1. Begin by cleaning the fresh anchovies. Remove the heads and innards, split them in half, and carefully remove the central bone.
  2. In a deep dish, arrange the anchovies with the skin facing upwards.
  3. Pour the white wine vinegar over the anchovies until they are fully submerged. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours; this step is crucial for enhancing the flavor.
  4. After marination, drain the vinegar from the anchovies. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and extra virgin olive oil to create a flavorful dressing.
  5. Gently coat the anchovies with the garlic-parsley mixture, ensuring each piece is well-covered.
  6. Let the anchovies marinate in the dressing for an additional hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  7. Serve the Anchoas en Vinagre as an appetizer, accompanied by slices of crusty bread for a delightful contrast.
