Description

Not everyone likes anchovies because of their distinctive taste. But to those people I always answer with a classic line: you just don’t know how to cook them! You have to know how to handle anchovies. Italians are masters at it, which is why I’m borrowing this recipe from them. So, here’s a recipe for an anchovy appetizer. It can be served warm or chilled.
