Ingredients
  • 1 pound anchovies in salt
  • coarse sea salt, to cover
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 3/4 cup white-wine vinegar
  • 1 red onion, chopped finely
  • 1 fat clove garlic, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 chile, sliced thinly
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • toasted bread, for serving
Directions
  1. Remove the spines from the anchovies with your fingers, gently easing them out.
  2. Rinse the anchovies in cold water. Place them in a single layer in a dish and add the juice of 1 lemon and vinegar. Marinate for 30 minutes.
  3. Rinse them again and squeeze gently between sheets of paper towels or in a clean kitchen towel. Lay them on a serving dish and dress with the onion, garlic, chile, the remaining lemon juice, oil, and parsley. Leave them to marinate for 3 hours or up to overnight. If the oil sets in the refrigerator, wait for them to reach room temperature before eating. Serve with toasted bread.
