Fried Anchovy Balls
Today, my dad came home loaded with fresh anchovies. "Hey Stella, I brought anchovies!" he said. "How do you want them, dad?" I asked. He replied, "Make them however you like..."
There are plenty of anchovies, it's a beautiful day, we have ouzo, and thank God we have the ingredients. So, I'll turn them into delicious fried anchovy balls.
First, let's clean them and then get started...
Our Ingredients:
500g cleaned anchovies (without heads)
1 tomato, deseeded and finely chopped
1 onion, minced
2 cloves of garlic,
? bunch of parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp ouzo
15 mint leaves
A little dill or fennel
4-5 tbsp self-rising flour
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil for frying Lemon for serving
Directions
Start with the anchovies. Rinse them thoroughly, remove the heads, innards, and bones along with the tail. Rinse again and drain well, almost dry.
Finely chop the anchovies and add the remaining ingredients. Flour your hands lightly and shape the mixture into small balls. Your hands should be slightly floured to prevent sticking because the mixture is soft. Place the balls on a baking tray.
Fry the anchovy balls on both sides until golden brown, then transfer them to absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Serve them hot with a generous squeeze of lemon on top.
Enjoy your warm fried anchovy balls!
