The Finished Product.....sort of...

Not only did I spell 'outtakes' wrong on my clip, but there are a few other glitches that happened.  But be it as it is, here is one thing you can do with the anchovies that I talked about yesterday.  Here is the recipe.

   4 or 5 salt packed anchovies

   1 medium can of crushed red tomatoes

   3 cloves garlic

   1/4 cup capers

   extra virgin olive oil to cover bottom of pan

   sea salt and coarse ground pepper to taste

   red pepper flakes

   Fillet and rinse the anchovies

   If you're using salt packed capers, rinse in a bowl of running water for 10 minutes

   Chop the garlic fine or you may want to do it the way Big Pauli did it in Goodfellas and slice them paper thin with a razor blade.  

   Heat oil in a medium sauté pan on high and add the garlic

   Sauté garlic for about a minute, DON"T BURN IT, and add the crushed tomatoes

   Add the anchovies (which you have patted dry) and capers, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes

   Reduce heat to 1/2 and stir

   Sauté for 10 minutes.  More if you so chose.  

   Serve over pasta and top with fresh grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.  Delicious!

OK, you got me fired up. I just ordered a can of salt packed anchovies and a bottle of salt packed capers. Should be here next week, then it's time to rock the kitchen! Thanks for the tips.

Oh, I ordered them from A.G. Ferrari Foods , cause I forgot to check your link. Plus, the product info said they were harder to throw across the room than your average anchovie can. ;)
