ANCHOVY ROLLS

Anchovy Rolls image

Also known as "alici rolls," this is a southern Italian appetizer that is traditionally served at the New Year. I have embellished it from its original recipe of just anchovies and dough. I don't measure when I cook, so all measurements below are estimates.

Smear on anchovy-creme fraiche mixture as evenly as possible, leaving about 2 inches clear at all edges.
Sprinkle about a handful of sliced leeks over all.

Serves about 4 people as an appetizer, 2 as an entree.
Golden raisins can also be added to the anchovy mixture.
