Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Rinse the cleaned and butterflied anchovies under cold water, then pat them very dry with paper towels.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensuring the anchovies are completely dry is crucial for a crispy coating.
2
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Dredge each anchovy in the seasoned flour, ensuring it's lightly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the flour mixture.
4
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F).
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle immediately when an anchovy is added, but not smoking.
5
Carefully place a single layer of floured anchovies into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Frying in batches helps maintain the oil temperature and ensures even cooking.
6
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Aproximativ 6 min.
7
Remove the fried anchovies with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Aproximativ 1 min.
8
Repeat with the remaining anchovies until all are fried.
9
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
