Postupak

Korak po korak

Oko 2 min
2
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
Oko 1 min
3
Dredge the anchovies in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are lightly and evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Oko 5 min
Napomena kuhara: 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.
Oko 2 min
Napomena kuhara: 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.
Oko 1 min
6
Fry the anchovies for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Oko 6 min
Napomena kuhara: 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.
Oko 1 min
