Prepare the Anchovies
Rinse the Sicilian anchovies under cold running water to remove any salt. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Chop the Chiles
Remove the stems and seeds from the Calabrian chiles, then finely chop them. Use gloves if desired, as they can be quite spicy.

Prepare the Oregano
Take the fresh oregano leaves and chop them coarsely. This will enhance the flavor when mixed with the other ingredients.

Prepare the Cheese
Slice the mozzarella cheese into thin rounds and grate the Grana Padano cheese.
