Ingredients
- 500 g anchovies - 1.1 pound of fresh anchovies. The weight is approximate.The amount depends very much on the size of the fish and the use you will make of it. As a main course, calculate about 5 per person. As an appetizer 2-3.
- 1 lemon - organic
- 1 clove garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin
- salt - to taste
Instructions
- First clean the anchovies. Place one anchovy at a time on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to open the belly and remove the guts, then cut off the head and finally remove the backbone.
- Rinse under running water, then open the anchovies, taking care not to break them, and blot with kitchen paper to dry the water. Set aside.
- Squeeze the juice from the organic lemon. Then grate the zest and set aside.
- ake a non-stick frying pan, pour in the extra virgin olive oil and add the peeled garlic clove. Heat over medium heat for 2-3 minutes so that the garlic releases its aroma into the oil.
- Add the anchovy fillets to the hot oil. They will cook in about 30 seconds.
- When you see them begin to turn white, add the lemon juice and gently flip them to the other side. Turn off the heat immediately.
- Add a pinch of salt and the grated lemon zest (while the pan is still hot, but with the heat off).
- Serve the lemon anchovies with a few spoonfuls of their cooking juices and enjoy!
