Recipe of Fresh fried anchovies

Vida Recetas Editorial

The anchovy fried is a classic of Spanish cuisine, especially popular in coastal areas. This recipe for fresh fried anchovies is very easy and simple, perfect for a healthy snack or appetizer. Anchovies are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep cholesterol at bay, and provide essential vitamins.

To prepare them, clean the anchovies well, rinsing them in water to remove blood. If you prefer, you can open them and remove the head. Season with salt and pepper, add lemon juice, and let them rest in the fridge for a few hours. Then, coat them in flour, shaking off the excess, and fry them in plenty of very hot sunflower oil for about 5 minutes, until golden brown.

It's important to place them in the pan without crowding so they don't stick together. Serve these fried anchovies with bread and a salad of tomato, carrot, and cucumber. Enjoy!
