Step 1: You will need…

  • 250 g fresh anchovies
  • 300 g coarse salt
  • 2 tbsp chopped thyme, or rosemary
  • 200 ml white wine vinegar
  • 200 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 spoon
  • 2 bowls
  • cling film
  • 1 bowl filled with water
  • 1 slotted spoon
  • 1 sieve
  • 1 knife
  • 1 cutting board

Step 2: Clean the anchovies

Cut off the head, open the fish up and remove the spine. Repeat with all the anchovies.

Step 3: Mix the salt with the herbs

Add the chopped thyme and rosemary to the coarse salt and mix together thoroughly.

Step 4: Layer the anchovies and salt in bowl

Place a layer of anchovies into a bowl and sprinkle the salt and herb mixture on top. Repeat the same process with a second layer and so on until all the anchovies are in the bowl.

Step 5: Cover and refrigerate

Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for three hours.

Step 6: Rinse the anchovies

Take the anchovies out of the fridge and put them into a bowl of water. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon into a sieve and run under cold water.

Step 7: Marinate the anchovies in vinegar

Put the anchovies into another bowl and pour over the vinegar. Cover once again with cling film and refrigerate for a further hour and a half.

Step 8: Remove and place them in a sieve

Remove the bowl from the fridge, put the anchovies back into the colander and shake well to discard the vinegar.

Step 9: Present on serving dish and garnish

Arrange the anchovies as you wish on a serving dish, pour over the olive oil, add the garlic and finally sprinkle over the chopped parsley.
