Method
Take freshly caught anchovies, remove the head and the offal, but do not wash them.
Take a cylindrical jar, pour salt on the bottom and alternate salt and anchovies, without leaving any air empty spaces.
Fill the jar completely, leaving a thickness of 2 cm free on which to place a weight.
Cover, conserve the jar in a cool place and in the dark for 2/3 months, depending on the size of the fish. Make sure that air bubbles aren’t formed or the fish is excessively dried.
After this time, remove the anchovies, clean from the salt and take off the fishbone.
Add Extra-virgin olive oil before consuming. If you want add garlic, parsley and chilli pepper, too.
Enjoy your meal!!
