Best Marinated Anchovies Recipes
MARINATED FRESH ANCHOVIES (ALICI MARINATI)
One bite of this exemplary antipasto entirely changed the way I thought about Italian cooking-and cooking in general. So Zen-like in their elegance and simplicity, so little and yet so much said, these delicious little dreamboats truly capture the dreamlike state of the Amalfi coast and the cooking that defines it. The cured anchovies will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Steps:
- Using scissors, trim the fins off of all the anchovies. Using a sharp paring knife, slit each fish along the belly from head to tail; remove the entrails and rinse well. Cut off the heads and carefully pull out the spine and pin bones from the top with your index finger and thumbnail. Separate the two fillets and rinse again. Arrange a layer of the fillets in a deep oval gratin dish and sprinkle with a tablespoon or two of vinegar. Continue until all the fish fillets are used, then pour the rest of the vinegar over the fish. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
- Remove the anchovies from the vinegar, rinse, and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Wash out the dish and dry well. Return a single layer of cured anchovies to the dish and sprinkle with 2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of oregano, a pinch of pepper flakes, a pinch of parsley, three or four garlic slices, and a pinch of salt. Layer in the rest of the anchovies, sprinkling each layer with oil, oregano, pepper flakes, parsley, garlic, and salt. Cover again and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- To serve, bring anchovies to just below room temperature (in Italy they would be served at about 58°F). Remove from the oil and arrange six or seven on each plate with a lemon wedge if desired.
MARINATED ANCHOVIES WITH BREAD AND BUTTER
For a simple, just-the-right-amount-of-salty appetizer, doctor up a tin of anchovies. The acid, heat, and olive oil mellow the anchovies' flavor, and serving them with a seedy loaf of bread and butter rounds the recipe.

Steps:
- Clean anchovies: rinse in cold water and cut off heads. Slit fish down the belly to butterfly and lift out the bones and internal organs. Cut off tails. Place fillets close together in a glass, ceramic or stainless steel dish, skin side down, in one or two layers.
- Season with salt and pepper and pour lemon juice and vinegar over fillets. Refrigerate for six hours. Pour off some of the liquid, keeping enough in dish so that anchovies are just covered. Add olive oil. Use in recipes, or return to refrigerator, marinate up to 48 hours and serve plain or in other dishes.

MARINATED WHITE ANCHOVIES WITH SOFT-COOKED EGG, ROASTED ONIONS, SALSA VERDE, AND FRISéE
Anchovies usually play a supporting role in a dish, typecast as the salty accent. But we just love them, so we challenged ourselves to craft a sandwich that actually features them. We knew that if we succeeded, we'd have a sandwich that could have a small but faithful following. And so it came to pass. We adapted an interesting Scandinavian preparation that paired anchovies with eggs-the richness of the eggs balances the tartness of the fish. We liked it. And, as it turns out, so does that small (but ever-growing) band of devotees we'd envisioned.

Steps:
- Place the anchovies on paper towels to drain excess oil. Carefully lower the eggs into a saucepan of boiling water. After 7 minutes, remove the eggs and place in an ice-water bath. Once cool, carefully peel. (The whites should be cooked through and the yolks should be soft, almost runny.)
- In a bowl, toss the lettuce in the oil and vinegar and add salt to taste. Lightly toast the bread on one side only.
- Place one egg on the toasted side of 4 slices of bread and gently mash and spread out with a fork. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Top the eggs with the onions, followed by the anchovies and the frisée. Spread an even coat of salsa verde on the toasted side of the 4 top slices of bread. Close the sandwiches, cut into halves, and serve.
MIXED GREENS WITH MARINATED ANCHOVIES
Candida Sportiello writes: "As owner and chef of Il Giardino restaurant, I've been cooking professionally for twenty-five years - but I've been cooking for pleasure for a good fifty years. As is the Italian way, most of my favorite recipes were handed down from my mother and grandmother, so they date from the early 1900s."
