Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the Cantabrian anchovies gently under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set them aside.

  2. 2

    Slice the Bread

    Cut the rustic bread into thick slices, about 1 inch each, to ensure they can hold the anchovies and butter well.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Allow it to gently bubble until it becomes slightly golden, but do not let it brown.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Anchovies

    Once the butter is melted, add the Cantabrian anchovies to the pan. Sauté them for about 2-3 minutes until they are heated through and slightly softened in the butter.

Serving

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the toasted slices of rustic bread. Spoon the sautéed anchovies and melted butter generously over each slice.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for added color and flavor. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
