Anchovies are gently cooked in their own juices with onion and olive oil in this simple, satisfying Black Sea classic. Because the fish is not fried, this dish is a lower-fat alternative to pan-fried anchovies.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the base

5 min

Drizzle olive oil over the base of a wide frying pan and arrange half of the sliced onions over it.

2

Arrange the anchovies

10 min

Arrange the cleaned anchovies tightly over the onions. Season with salt and black pepper, then spread the remaining onion on top.

3

Steam over low heat

20 min

Cover the pan and cook over low heat in their own juices until the anchovies and onions are tender.

4

Serve

2 min

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Reminder

Important: Avoid stirring the anchovies too much with a spoon, as the fish may fall apart; gently shaking the pan is enough. Allergen: contains fish.
