Raw anchovies with lemon are a classic Italian starter. This simple and delicious dish highlights the intense flavor of fresh anchovies, which are marinated in lemon juice to make them even more tender and aromatic. You can add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of white pepper to complete the flavor. Raw anchovies with lemon are perfect served as an appetizer or as a tasty finger food.
Thoroughly clean the anchovies: remove the head and backbone, divide them into fillets and lay them out flat on a fairly large plate.
Sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and a little ground white pepper, pour over the juice of 5 lemons and let them marinate for at least 12 hours, turning them occasionally.
When they have lightened in color, remove the anchovies from the marinade, place them in layers in a porcelain or glass dish and cover them with olive oil.
They can be stored for one day but are certainly tastier when eaten immediately after marinating.
