Summer Recipe – Stuffed Anchovies
Ingredients (4 serves)
- 30 anchovies
- 100 gr pine nuts
- 30 gr sesame
- 30 gr sage leaves
- 30 gr basil leaves
- 3 anchovies in oil
- 2 eggs
- Flour
- Breadcrumbs
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- Oil for frying (your choice)
- 3 cups Greek yogurt
Directions
Blend in a mixer the pine nuts, sage, basil, anchovies, a tablespoon of breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of oil and a pinch of salt. Then, clean the anchovies by removing the head and eviscerating the entrails. Open them up like a book, remove the bones and, after washing them, spread a little of the sauce previously prepared before closing them. Put them in the flour, then in the beaten egg and fry them in hot oil for about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, toast the sesame in a hot pan and pound it in a mortar adding a pinch of salt. Add to the Greek yogurt and mix all the ingredients.
Serve the anchovies on our aluminum plate and dip them in the yogurt before enjoying them, drinking a glass of white wine or a beer.
