Fried Anchovies With Sauce- Gavros Tiganitos Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Make sauce:
  • In food processor, finely grind almonds.
  • Add garlic, tomatoes, vinegar, pepper flakes, and salt, and purée until paste forms, scraping down sides occasionally.
  • Add parsley and with motor running, slowly add oil.
  • Fry anchovies:
  • In large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and pepper.
  • In 4-quart deep, heavy pot over high heat, heat 2 inches oil until deep-fat thermometer registers 350°F.
  • Dredge half of anchovies in flour mixture, tossing to coat well. Transfer to sieve and shake to remove excess flour.
  • Fry, stirring frequently to separate, until golden, about 3 minutes, then transfer with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • Repeat with remaining anchovies, returning oil to 350°F between batches.
  • Serve sauce and fresh lemon wedges on the side.

    This sounds great but I can't get fresh anchovies here. Maybe this would work with smelt?
