Among the most well-known and appreciated sea appetizers of our peninsula are undoubtedly the marinated anchovies, characterized by a marinade with an intense and tangy flavor. Today we offer you another recipe that features this precious bluefish, typical of the Campania region: breadcrumb anchovies! In this case, the anchovies are not marinated but flavored with an aromatic breadcrumb coating that will become golden and crispy after a short bake in the oven. Serve the breadcrumb anchovies as an appetizer and follow with another Neapolitan recipe like the tagliolini with escaped clams... you will have achieved a mouth-watering meal with little expense and effort!

Preparation

How to prepare Breadcrumb Anchovies

To prepare breadcrumb anchovies, start by cleaning the anchovies: remove the head 1, open them like a book, and remove the central bone 2. Rinse the inside well under running water and pat the clean anchovies dry with paper towels 3. For more information, you can refer to the guide on how to clean anchovies.

Now put the peeled garlic cloves in a mixer 4, add the washed and dried parsley 5, and finely chop 6.

Pour the breadcrumbs into a bowl, add salt 7 and the garlic and parsley mixture 8, then pour in the oil 9

and mix well 10. Grease a dish large enough to hold all the anchovies 11 and place the anchovies inside, opened like a book, without overlapping 12.

Add a teaspoon of the breadcrumb mixture on top of each anchovy (13-14) and bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes, on the middle shelf. After this time, remove the breadcrumb anchovies 15 and enjoy them while they are still warm!
