Marinated anchovies | Boquerones

This tapa is truly a Spaniards favorite. You will find these plump marinated anchovies on the counters in tapas bars throughout Spain. Because they are super delicious and really easy to do they may be the most common tapa period.

 INGREDIENTS

• 12 anchovy fillets, preserved in vinegar

• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley

• 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

1.  Drain the anchovies from their vinegar in a colander while you prepare the dressing.

2. Place the garlic, chopped parsley and olive oil in a small boil and mix well. Lay the anchovies in a shallow dish and pour over the dressing so they are evenly covered.

3. Serve cold – these will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days.
