I like to smother bruccetta with them....
I sauté diced anchovies (and garlic) in EVOO when starting the puttanesca I make. Sometimes I use paste, but I'd just as soon use the little fishies. They don't seem to splatter as much as the paste and are easier to get around here.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO That sounds good!!i just remembered another good use. anchovy stuffed pickled hot cherry peppers. i'll be making a batch this week using some pickled, some fresh hot cherry peppers.
mix a good squirt of anchovy paste with some toasted seasoned breadcrumbs (breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, dried basil, oregano, and parsley) and a bit of olive oil to form a sort of paste, core the pickled hot cherry peppers, and stuff the peppers with the paste. put stuffed peppers in a bowl and cover with extra virgin olive oil.
serve with crusty italian bread, dipping the bread in the oil as you eat the peppers.
Mucci's? Are they on Market st?c'mon over. you can help me move stuff around in the drying basement...
i have a jar of b&g brand, and some left from last year's garden crop that i pickled.
i haven't been back in the garden for a few days, but i can see lots of peppers to pick from the kitchen window for the fresh ones.
a lot of italian delis around us have stuffed cherry peppers, but often they're stuffed with prosciutto and provolone or mozzarella. the anchovy/breadcrumb paste ones are harder to find. mucci's in saddle brook started carrying them, but they're ridiculous at 50 cents each for small peppers.
Will you pick a peck Peter?and some left from last year's garden crop that i pickled.

LOL I used to work on market street across from burger king (and the old A&P). We used to eat lunch at Gleason's (they had THE best chili back then but it's gone now). Used to go to Saddle Brook diner on friday night/saturday morning after we closed down "Someplace Else" bar on Main Street in Lodi (also closed). I will have to go check out Mucci's for anchovie stuffed pickled peppers.yup, about a half mile west of main steet. over the hill from the saddle brook p.d..
and yes, call me peter.
