Procedure

To prepare the pesto pasta with anchovies, pistachio, pine nuts and citrus fruits, wash the anchovies (or sardines) and clean them by removing the head, the iisp, the innards and the small plug on the back. Cut into chunks and put them to marinate for 15 minutes in the orange juice Ribera.

In the meantime, chop the parsley and garlic and cut the chilli pepper into small pieces. Put the oil in an anti adherent pan, chilli pepper and chopped garlic and fry them lightly, then add half of the chopped parsley and anchovies.

Season the sauce and cook over high heat for 2 minutes,, fire off, Add a little orange and lemon zest. In the meantime, toast the pistachios and pine nuts in a frying pan and crush them coarsely, then add half the crushed nuts to anchovy sauce.

Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water and drain it al dente, setting aside a little of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the sauce and stir everything by adding the cooking water and, if necessary, a drizzle of olive oil to Polish everything. Serve the pasta with pesto of anchovies, pistachio, pine nuts and citrus garnish the dish with a sprinkling of fresh parsley, the chopped pistachios from Bronte, the pine nuts and a little citrus zest. Bon appétit!

Note

Combination: Schools of citrus fruits and the taste of fish get married with a Sauvignon Doc del Collio. We chose the one produced by the company Shock, that smacks of white peach and tomato leaf with floral notes. We recommend serving it at around 12 degrees.

Thanks for this recipe. Tried it today with some small change:
pickled sardines with pink grapefruit, I also used the Peel
added some cherry plum tomatoes from the garden
without lemon and orange and leaving the pine nuts of my vegetable market of trust (price per kg an exaggeration, but it's worth it!!!) integers.
Pasta: Fusilli
GREAT TO BE REDONE

Thank you! Friday I went to the fish market to purchase a nice local reef Octopus to venture into your recipe for Octopus salad. We hope to be able! But I think I can juggle for the tentacles at the top have you got any suggestions for me to cut it? Thanks for your recipes delicious that are stimulating my skills in the kitchen! Antoinette

Hi Antoinette, Once you've cooked the Octopus cut the tentacles and fouls in pieces. Then, at the base of the head, using a knife or scissors, delete the spout, also trying to delete some’ of skin because at those points is thicker. Thinly cut all the hardest parts around the head. While the soft part of the head I suggest you cut it into strips.
Soon
Ada

Have a good evening, Antoinette

Hi Antoinette, Yes those you see are fried anchovies. If you want to try to make them too roll up, just dip them, roll them up and pop them into one toothpick. Fry them with the toothpick and then take: will be rolled. Let me know, good Sunday lunch.
