Boquerones Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Anchovies

    Clean the fresh white anchovies by removing the heads and guts. Rinse them under cold water, and then place them in a shallow dish.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Anchovies

    Pour the white wine vinegar over the anchovies, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the dish and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Make the Gremolata

    Finely chop the garlic and parsley. In a bowl, mix the chopped garlic, parsley, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    After marinating, drain the anchovies from the vinegar and arrange them on a serving plate. Spoon the gremolata mixture over the anchovies and drizzle with additional olive oil if desired. Serve chilled.
