Boquerones

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Anchovies

    Clean the fresh anchovies by removing the heads and guts. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place the anchovies in a dish.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Anchovies

    In a bowl, mix the white wine vinegar with salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the anchovies and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tomato

    While the anchovies are marinating, chop the large tomato into small cubes and set aside.

  4. 4

    Finish the Anchovies

    After 2 hours, drain the anchovies from the vinegar. Arrange them on a serving plate and drizzle with olive oil. Top with the chopped tomato.
