Please do not confuse FRESH anchovies with the ones that come in the tin. This is an extremely popular appetizer in Greece. They are delicious with crusty bread and WINE!!!

Ingredients
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
  • 3 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
  • 2 plum tomatoes, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • For Anchovies
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4-5 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/4 pound fresh anchovies (about 8 fillets)

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