1
Prepare the Anchovies
Open the can or jar of anchovies and drain any excess oil or liquid. Rinse the anchovies lightly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Chop the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely. Set aside.
3
Chop the Parsley
Wash the parsley under running water, dry it, and then chop it finely.

4
Sauté the Garlic
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add the Anchovies
Add the drained anchovies to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the anchovies start to break down and infuse the oil.
6
Season the Mixture
Sprinkle in the black pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt (to taste) into the skillet. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

7
Add Fresh Parsley
Once the anchovies are well combined with the oil and spices, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
8
Serve with Lemon
Transfer the anchovy mixture to a serving dish. Cut the lemon into wedges and serve on the side for drizzling over the anchovies before eating.
