ANCHOVY FILLETS IN SUNFLOWER OIL

Anchovy fillets in oil are a staple ingredient in any kitchen. Whether they are used to give saltiness or a fishy flavour to sauces or in a Caesar Salad dressing or simply as a pizza topping, anchovy fillets are a “go to” ingredient for most chefs, adding a depth of flavour and umami.

JC Dudley have recently added Anchovy fillets in sunflower oil in 600g easy open tins to their foodservice offering. Here are some popular ways to use anchovy fillets:

PASTA SAUCES:
Anchovies are a classic ingredient in Italian pasta sauces, particularly carbonara, Bolognese and pesto.

DIPS & SPREADS:
Mix anchovy fillets with cream cheese, mayonnaise or sour cream for a tasty dip. Use anchovy fillets as a spread on sandwiches such as a crostini or a panini.

GRILLED MEATS:
Add anchovy fillets to marinades or rubs for grilled meats like steak, chicken or salmon.

SALADS & VEGTABLES:
Add anchovy fillets to green salads, caprese salads or grain salads for a salty kick. Fill bell peppers, zucchini or eggplant with a mixture of rice, herbs and anchovy fillets for a savoury side dish.

PIZZA:
Anchovies are a common topping on Neapolitan-style pizzas, especially when paired with other salty ingredients like olives and capers.

Remember to use anchovy fillets in moderation, as their strong flavour can overpower other ingredients. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
