Anchovies

"Salty and hairy" is what they're usually called. These little fish, approx 3cm long, should be used to flavour a meal only.

To Buy:

Usually bought in cans or jars packed in olive oil or spring water.

To Store:

Store in a cool dark cupboard - and check the expiry date.

Tips & Tricks:

Drain any excess olive oil on absorbent paper before using. Five anchovies is approximately one serve. Any more than this at one sitting and the high sodium levels would outweigh any other benefits.

Cooking Tips:

Use as a condiment and add tiny pieces to add piquancy to your dishes. Delicious with tomato.
