MARINATED ANCHOVIES

Anchovies tend to get a bad rap, but these punchy little salt bombs are a delicious summer treat. This particular recipe is inspired by a signature dish on the dinner menu at Raf’s in New York City.

Time: 15 min | Difficulty: 1/5 | Servings: 2

Ingredients:

• 6 anchovy filets

• ½ tsp ground fennel

• 4 tbsp olive oil

• Black pepper

• ¼ lemon juiced

• Splash of caper juice (optional)

• Red pepper flakes or Aleppo peppers, for topping

• Lemon zest, for topping

• Cold butter, for serving

• Bread, for serving (French baguette)

Directions:

1. Grind your fennel with a mortar and pestle (if not already ground).

2. In a bowl mix the fennel, olive oil, black pepper, lemon juice, and caper juice.

3. Lay your anchovies on a plate and pour the marinade over the anchovies.

4. Top with red pepper flakes and lemon zest and serve with cold butter and a sliced baguette.

Tip: Make sure you serve with butter and bread. The creaminess of the butter pairs beautifully with the salty anchovies.
