Best Antipasto With Anchovies Recipes

ANTIPASTO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl add the romaine, olives, tomatoes, pepperoni, red peppers, salami, mozzarella, artichoke hearts, and provolone.
• To make the lemon olive oil dressing: In a small bowl whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Pour over the solid and toss.

CALABRESE ANTIPASTO

Steps:

• Place all of the prepared and drained vegetables in separate bowls and reserve their juices.
• In a large saucepan, combine ketchup, Worcestershire, horseradish, tomato sauce, tarragon vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, lemon juice, and cayenne. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Season, to taste, with salt.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Blanch the cauliflower for about 2 minutes; it should still be crisp. With a skimmer, transfer the florets to a tray to cool quickly. Repeat with the carrots and then with the celery, cooking them just long enough to remove their raw taste; they will be cooked more later. Add the white wine vinegar to the water and blanch the mushrooms for 1 minute (the vinegar will keep the mushrooms white). Drain and spread the mushrooms on a tray to cool quickly.
• Add the cauliflower, carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the sauce. Add the juices from the canned and jarred vegetables. Add the pepperoncini, olives, pickles, onions, and artichoke hearts and toss well.
• In sterilized canning jars, place 1 teaspoon tarragon vinegar (this will guarantee freshness). Load the sauced vegetables into the jar, using a wide-mouthed funnel to avoid a mess.
• In one of the large pans that you have used, add olive oil, tuna, and anchovies and mix well. Top each jar with some of the tuna mixture. Cover and refrigerate, or allow to cool on the counter before serving. This will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

MICHAEL'S ANTIPASTI

Steps:

• 1. If using anchovies packed in salt, cover in water and soak in a glass bowl for 30 minutes. Drain well. Using a paper towel, remove the outer skin. Split the fillet to remove the bone. Place the anchovies in a small bowl and add red pepper flakes. Pour over olive oil to cover. If using anchovies packed in oil, simply remove the anchovy fillets from the oil and transfer to a small bowl. Add red pepper flakes and pour over fresh olive oil. Set aside.
• 2. Meanwhile, roast peppers on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flame on high. (Or broil on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat.) Roast, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 5 to 8 minutes.
• 3. Transfer roasted peppers to a bowl, then cover and let steam 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and cut into strips. Set aside.
• 4. In a large bowl toss eggplant, zucchini, and red onions with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill vegetables over medium heat on a grill pan or grill in batches on a rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals, turning them, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender.
• 5. Arrange roasted peppers, grilled vegetables, and olives on a large platter. Place the bowl of anchovies on the platter. Serve with crusty bread.
