Vinegar Marinated Anchovies That Will Leave You Wanting More!

Prepare the Anchovies: Begin by cleaning the anchovies. Remove the heads, guts, and bones carefully, then rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Marinate in Vinegar: Place the cleaned anchovies in a shallow dish or container. Pour the white wine vinegar over the fish, ensuring they are fully covered. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight. The vinegar will “cook” the fish, turning them white and tender.

Prepare the Garlic and Olive Oil: In a small frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and sauté until it becomes golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the garlic and oil to cool slightly.

Assemble the Boquerones: Once the anchovies have marinated, drain the vinegar from the fish. Place the anchovies in a clean dish, and pour the garlic-infused olive oil over them. Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zest.

Serve: Let the marinated anchovies sit for another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve them as part of a tapas platter, or enjoy them as a snack or appetizer. They are great on their own or served with crusty bread.
