Anchovy pan dinner typically refers to a meal that includes anchovies and is cooked in a pan. Anchovies are small, oily fish that are commonly used to add a savory, umami flavor to various dishes. They are often used in Mediterranean cuisine and can be found in a variety of dishes such as pizzas, pasta sauces, salads, and more. Cooking an anchovy-based dinner in a pan can create a flavorful and satisfying meal. Here’s recipe of anchovy pan dinner:
Clean and prepare the anchovies. You can also ask the fishmonger to clean them if you prefer. After cleaning, rinse the anchovies with cold water and drain excess water through a strainer.
Pour 7-8 tablespoons of olive oil into a pan and heat it without letting it burn. Mix 3-5 cups of corn flour with 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Coat the drained anchovies one by one with the corn flour mixture, making sure both sides are covered.
Next, start arranging the anchovies in the pan with their tails facing inward. Once one side is golden brown, using another pan or a flat lid to help prevent them from spilling, carefully flip the anchovies to the other side and cook until golden.
After the anchovies are cooked, you can present them on a serving plate suitable for the size of the pan. As a suggestion, you can prepare a onion salad on the side and enjoy with lemon. Bon appétit!
