How to prepare Anchovies baked in a pan

To prepare the anchovies baked in a pan, start with the coating. In a food processor fitted with blades add the bread crumb cubes 1 and pulse until you obtain a coarse texture 2. Transfer them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper 3.

Bake them in a static oven at 392°F for 10 minutes 4 and once golden remove them from the oven and set aside 5. Now grease a 9.5-inch round baking pan with some extra virgin olive oil 6.

Prepare a chopped mixture of garlic and parsley 7 and spread a tablespoon of the chopped mixture on the bottom of the pan 8. Then arrange the anchovies in the pan in a circular pattern 9.

Once all the anchovies are arranged, pour over the white wine 10, the toasted bread crumbs 11 and the chopped garlic and parsley mixture 12.

Add the capers, well rinsed and drained 13. At this point add the oregano and finally the remaining oil 14. Bake at 374°F for 20 minutes. When they are nicely golden, remove from the oven and serve your anchovies baked in the pan piping hot 15!

Storage

Anchovies baked in a pan can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Freezing is not recommended.

Tip

For even cooking, arrange the anchovies in a single layer without overlapping them too much. Do not prolong the cooking time: being very thin they risk drying out. The bread should be nicely golden and crunchy, while the fish should remain tender and juicy.
