Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

1
Pat the cleaned anchovies very dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispier fry.
Ca. 2 min.
2
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
Ca. 1 min.
3
Dredge the anchovies in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are lightly and evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Ca. 5 min.
Kokkens note: Work in small batches to prevent overcrowding the dish and ensure even coating.
4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: The oil should be hot enough that a drop of flour sizzles immediately upon contact.
5
Carefully place a single layer of coated anchovies into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and prevent browning.
Ca. 1 min.
6
Fry the anchovies for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Ca. 6 min.
Kokkens note: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring they cook through.
7
Remove the fried anchovies from the pan with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Ca. 1 min.
8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining anchovies, adding more olive oil to the pan if necessary.
Ca. 5 min.
9
Serve the Gavros Tiganitos immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing.
