they are useful in several ways, you can mince them and use them in sauces, good on salads, and pizza. I like them paired with capers, they are very salty so only a little bit goes a long way.

They're a key ingredient in a caesar salad, fuckwit.

And they're delicious.

how do you use anchovies in caesar salad?? what am i missing here

[Anonymous No.15123748]

When ground into a paste, a teaspoon or two of anchovies can be a very nice addition to a batch of pasta sauce.

Kinda like a bay leaf, it doesn't add a clearly identifiable flavor, but enriches the overall taste such that you could clearly tell the difference if it wasn't there.

mix them ( or anchovie paste) in when making the dressing.

[Anonymous No.15123756]

Pizza and salads are two good choices.

They're delicious with everything or by themselves.

You need to stop buying cheap ones though.

They’re essentially a salt substitute. Great finely diced and sprinkled on garlic bread, in salad dressings instead of salt, and mixed into tomato sauces. Also just a 1/4” or 1cm piece on a slice of crisp apple with goat cheese or other soft cheese is ace as fuck

[Anonymous No.15123812]

Anchovies and mushrooms are the best pizza topping combo. When I make chicken liver and onions I also dice up anchovies andnthrow that in too, for some good salty flavor.

[Anonymous No.15123823]

I agree. Food has some of the best surprises.

[strawman !!9eSatjbJatr No.15123893]

Fair warning, there is a ton of variance in quality between brands. The best brands, like pic related or ortiz, are absolutely magical. They also go for $5-$10 per jar. The cheapest stuff, like what you find in anchovie paste, tastes like nasty rotten fish. In between there is a spectrum between delicious and disgusting which limits how heavily you can use it in a dish without getting gross and fishy.

Agree totally with first part but add black olives on the pizza.
Make chopped liver but never added 'chovies. Added mushrooms which is good.

[strawman !!9eSatjbJatr No.15123939]

>>15123908
Add capers to the pizza too

[Anonymous No.15123952]

>>15123719
Toast and butter, in omelette, in sauces to add flavor.

[Anonymous No.15123960]

>>15123812
I would add fresh tomato and basil to that pizza.

Anchovy goes with everything, it is the single most delicious ingredient.

capers don't go with cheese

[Anonymous No.15125499]

>>15125493
True

Also, anchovies form the basis of many Korean soups. It's a really common stock in the cuisine. And the anchovies are really good

This, I like to use it to tomato based pasta sauces, especially when I make one without meat, same with capers

[Anonymous No.15128799]

>>15123719
A: Soak in water to get the salt levels down
B: Make a pizza, top only with sauce and sparingly with anchovies
C: Bake
D: Grate pecorino romano over top

[Anonymous No.15129112]

Anchovies are great in tomato based pasta sauces. Also can mix anchovies with butter and make a great finishing butter for steaks, chicken, pork chops.

This is the truth. Eat with raw green beans, snow peas and cabbage.

Think of them as more of a seasoning. Mash them up into oil with some garlic and herbs and rub on meat, potatoes etc. They go great in dressings and marinades.
