Ingredients

1/2 kilo fresh anchovies

Salt

Wine vinegar

2 cloves of garlic sliced

Olive oil

Oregano

Preparation time: 30 minutes

Marinating time: 15 – 20 hours

Directions

Wash and cut the head pulling out the guts. With a filleting knife cut it in the middle and remove spine and tail and any remaining guts. Wash again and strain. Place them in a bowl with a lid placing a layer of anchovies, salt, garlic, vinegar. Repeat until they are all placed and finally they should be covered with vinegar. Place lid and store in the refrigerator and let them marinate overnight.

The following day drain them from the vinegar and sprinkle some oregano and cover them in olive oil. They can be preserved for a week.

Comment by Pixie on May 24, 2008 at 8:59am: Ivy, this is really coming along nicely. I'm having to avoid lemon and vinegar and oil- which is so very difficult to do. I'm not even convinced my doctor was right as he's honestly, not been a very great gp and I want to go see a different one. I'm so pleased you're starting your new event.

Comment by Ivy on May 24, 2008 at 10:56am: Pixie darling, if you are not satisfied with your doctor, at least get a second opinion. I could live without lemon and vinegar (although very difficult) but oil, I think that's impossible.
