Grilled champignons with anchovies & laurel

Method

1. Put the bread with a laurel leaf into a blender and blitz.
2. Wash and clean the anchovies, then season them with salt and pepper.
3. Sprinkle the anchovies with the bread crumbs, add a few drops of extra virgin olive oil and roll them up.
4. Put the anchovies in a hot oven (220°C) for a few minutes.
5. Serve with the Zero Olio® Grilled Champignon Mushrooms.

Chef's tip

If you don't feel confident cleaning the anchovies yourself, then you can get Delicius preserved anchovies. We suggest that you do not bake them in the oven though, and rather just sprinkle them with the toasted, laurel-flavoured bread before serving.

Serving suggestion

Serve as an appetiser or a snack with some croutons, crackers or homemade bread. This recipe goes well with vegetable- and fish-based courses.

Wine selection

Verdicchio, Riesling, Sauvignon blanc, Soave, Pinot gris, Chardonnay
