Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Pat the cleaned anchovies very dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispier fry.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 2
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 3
Dredge the anchovies in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are lightly and evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 6
Fry the anchovies for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Aproximativ 6 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring they cook through.

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.
Aproximativ 1 min.

Repeat the frying process with the remaining anchovies, adding more olive oil to the pan if necessary.
