Fred McGriff Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 anyone like anchovies, the good ones not out of a can... fresh anchovy fillets? i think they're marinated in oil and vinegar, like boquerones from spain. we made a thread about this a while back but i cant find it, i promised someone i was going to try anchovies. i'm making an olive tapenade tonight that calls for anchovy fillets so i picked up a package of them and they look really tasty. cant wait to try them out. my recipe only requires 2 fillets, so that leaves me with another handful, so i'm not sure what to do with them... i might make a pizza of some sort tomorrow night. suggestions welcome. tonight i'm having a new friend over, a wine sommelier. loganfive will be pleased to know that he has made it his mission to convert me to old world wines. (not going to happen). anyway. yeah gonna try me some anchovies today. anchovies.

Guest Gary C Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Anchovies from the Mediterranean are indeed amazing. Also see sardines. Yum. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/50878-proper-anchovies/#findComment-1170500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakapo Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) Anchovies go very well with lamb, putting them in slits into a leg and roasting is an old trick, they disintregrate but the 'umami' taste is left enhancing the meat. You can get a similar effect with adding a splash of thai fish sauce to stews and sauces. Whenever I have anchovies as left overs, they usually end up in a puttanesca style sauce for pasta. Edit: Actually, I don't know how well bocquerones would work with lamb, but it should work. To be honest, if they're decent quality, I would scoff them as is.

encey Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Holy shit yes -- so salty and delicious! I used to love them in Caesar salad. Now my favorite use is to make a salsa verde over some pasta, with capers or olives. I make mine almost like a pesto, I guess? Pulse the anchovies with some oil and fresh garlic. Throw it in to some onions and some other veggie (greens, mushrooms?) and toss that shit over some pasta w butter & pepper wooooooooo Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide encey's signature Hide all signatures essines said: i am hot shit ... that smells like baking bread.

Fred McGriff Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 fucking serious you guys? why do they have such a bad reputation here? (dont answer that). i think they go bad quickly and a lot of people eat bad ones or something. i bet anchovies top the list of nastiest food imaginable amongst the common american. well i have a proper anchovy boner right now. by the way, anchovy boner is the name of my dark ambient side project.

Although the vinegar would prob. kill anything you really should eat the fish as freshly as possible.

acid1 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I saw a Futurama episode all about anchovies once, it made me really want to try them.
