Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 8
Take an adequate amount of salted anchovies; the thicker and plumper they are, the better
- STEP 2 OF 8
Rinse them well, remove the bones, and if necessary, soak them for a few minutes in water and vinegar. Crush in a mortar: garlic, parsley, excellent olive oil
- STEP 3 OF 8
First crush the garlic and parsley, then dilute a little with some oil, and finally mix everything in a bowl
- STEP 4 OF 8
You should not obtain a thick cream but rather a fairly fluid sauce; the amount of garlic depends on your tolerance and that of others; the more, the better
- STEP 5 OF 8
Optionally, add a pinch of basil for fragrance; some also add a bit of chili pepper, but it alters the taste
- STEP 6 OF 8
Layer the fillets of the dear creatures alternately in this sauce, which you will have prepared in sufficient quantity to cover them completely. Let them age in the fridge in a not too cold area for at least a week
- STEP 7 OF 8
They are enjoyed as an appetizer or an excellent filling for a nice loaf of bread
- STEP 8 OF 8
In the fridge, they keep for a long time, possibly topping up with a bit of oil until covered
