Bull Fillet With Anchovy Sauce Recipes

SALMON WITH ANCHOVY-GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, mash together butter, anchovies, garlic, salt and pepper.
• In a large ovenproof skillet, melt about half the anchovy butter. Add fish, skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes over high heat to brown the skin, spooning some pan drippings over the top of the fish as it cooks. Add capers to bottom of pan and transfer to oven. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and add remaining anchovy butter to pan to melt. Place salmon on plates and spoon buttery pan sauce over the top. Squeeze the lemon half over the salmon and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve.

GARLICKY CHICKEN WITH LEMON-ANCHOVY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and let rest while you prepare the anchovy-garlic oil. Mince one of the garlic cloves and set it aside for later. In a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the 5 smashed whole garlic cloves, the anchovies, capers and chile. Let cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the anchovies, until the garlic browns around the edges and the anchovies dissolve, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken thighs and cook until nicely browned on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the thighs, place the pan in the oven and cook another 5 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
• When chicken is done, transfer thighs to a plate (be careful, as the pan handle will be hot). Place skillet back on the heat and add minced garlic and the juice of one lemon half. Cook for about 30 seconds, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Return chicken to the pan and cook it in the sauce for another 15 to 30 seconds.
• Transfer everything to a serving platter. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve.

QUICK ANCHOVY AND GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• 1/2 pound pasta for 2 generous servings.
• Prepare the sauce while the pasta water is boiling.
• I like to use vermicelli.
• In a small skillet melt the butter.
• Add minced garlic.
• Cook until golden brown until it smells toasted.
• Do not let it scorch or it will taste bitter.
• When the garlic is golden brown, add the entire can of anchovies, including oil and the 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Cook and stir until the anchovies dissolve.
• If the pasta is not cooked yet, turn off the heat.
• When the pasta is cooked, finish the sauce.
• Add light cream to the sauce, and cook until it comes to a rolling boil.
• Pour over the well drained pasta and toss vigorously.
• Serve with parmesan cheese.

ANCHOVY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan and cook the anchovies and garlic mashing with a fork over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes.
• Cool and transfer to a food processor with lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper and eggs and process until smooth.
• With the motor running, gradually add the oil in a thin steady stream until thick and creamy.
• NOTE: to coddle eggs, boil in the shell for 30-60 seconds.

TARRAGON CHICKEN WITH ANCHOVY CREAM

Steps:

• 1. Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes. Place in a Ziploc bag and add the rest of the ingredients. Seal and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
• 2. Turn your oven to broil and skewer the cubes on the chopsticks. If the chopsticks are not lacquered then place them in water for an hour before use, so they won't char in the oven.
• 3. Grill the skewers in the top of your oven for about 12 minutes or until completely cooked through. Turn after half the time.
• Anchovy Cream
• 1. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the anchovy fillets and stir them until they melt.
• 2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the rest of the ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste. Add more lemon juice if you want.
• Serving tip!
• The skewers can be served both warm and cold.
• Simplify:
• The sauce tastes better the longer it gets to absorb the flavors, so it can easily be prepared the day before. The same goes for the marinated skewers. Prepare and marinate the day before and just grill before the guests arrive.
• For a challenge:
• If you have access to a grill, then of course that adds to the flavor. Don't forget to soak nonlacquered skewers beforehand so that they don't catch fire.

STEAK WITH ANCHOVY GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife. Mash together butter, anchovy paste, lemon juice, garlic paste, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until combined well. Stir in parsley.
• Pat steaks dry and sprinkle with salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Sauté steaks 1 at a time, turning once, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
• Top steaks with a dollop of anchovy butter and slice.
