White anchovies can be found as tapas throughout Mediterranean Europe. This fast and tasty starter or snack is a great introduction to the less ‘fishy’ preparation of the anchovy. Unlike tinned anchovies, which are cured in salt, white anchovies are marinated in vinegar and oil and only slightly salted.
You will find white anchovies in the refrigerated section of many supermarkets or gourmet shops along with smoked salmon. They are particularly common in shops that carry Spanish, Portuguese or Italian products and come in vacuum sealed trays that require refrigeration but last a long time sealed.
This recipe is more of a preparation guide and can be scaled up as needed. It comes together in about 5 minutes, 10 if you grill some bread or make crostini.
This recipe features our Pink Pacific Rose Wine Vinegar and our AVW Extra Virgin Olive Oil .
