From Sicily comes straight to your table the anchovy pie Sicilian! A soft chest of anchovies which encloses a stuffing tomato-based, first salt and the famous Sicilian cunzatu bread which we put almost anywhere, Also in cappuccino. Bread cunzatu means seasoned bread: it is a filling of grated bread (old bread to recycle, the series does not throw anything away). All seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, Salt, papá, parsley and other aromatic herbs of the season, and grated pecorino. On my YouTube channel you can also find the VIDEO RECIPE STEP BY STEP the ANCHOVY PIE.
This stuffing is a neutral base for any type of filling, from roulade Messina at STUFFED ONIONS and then adapts the recipe in question adding zest or citrus juice (as in SARDE A BECCAFICO) or pieces of cheese as in STUFFED ARTICHOKES. The recipe for anchovy pie filling and adds to this cheese also a fresh tomato sauce, making it a perfect dish especially for the summer.
This cupcask is the red version of the ANCHOVIES IN PIE TO SICILY, which are in white with lemon and capers, and the ANCHOVY AND POTATO PIE, light and delicious.
Cooked in the oven for a few minutes (I recommend, otherwise the anchovies they dry), the anchovy pie Sicilian is a perfect starter but also a tasty main dish.

PROCEEDINGS
The patties Sicilian anchovies are very easy to prepare, as you see in VIDEO RECIPE STEP BY STEP: you can decide whether to prepare them as I did, in comfortable and elegant single portions, so as to serve as an appetizer or as a main dish, or pan, alternating the same ingredients in layers and then cutting the pie sliced anchovies. I always prefer to, where possible, the portion.
First of all, If you purchased already cleaned and boned anchovies well, Otherwise look here VIDEO TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CLEAN ANCHOVIES. Once you clean the anchovies, wash them and put them on absorbent paper: they must be dry. Pour the tomato sauce into a bowl, season with salt, extra virgin olive oil and some basil leaves and let it flavor in the fridge.
With a small brush, grease the molds (They are fine ones in disposable aluminum) and then sprinkle with breadcrumbs, so that they are covered.
Prepare the filling for the anchovy pie, the so-called 'BREAD cunzatu Sicilian: place in a bowl the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, some’ ground black pepper, the grated cheese and plenty of extra virgin olive oil as needed to get a soft dough and grainy. If you want, you can also add a clove finely chopped garlic. Taste the mixture to verify that there is enough salt and, If necessary, add a pinch.
Coat the aluminum cups with anchovies, so that they are covered with both the bottom and sides. Anchovies must escape from the molds so that, once the pie, the flaps can reclose, as you can see in the VIDEORICETTA. Place a first layer of cunzatu bread inside each mould, add a teaspoon of tomato sauce and a slice of Tuma or primo sale. Continue with a second layer of filling, one tomato and one cheese. Pressing slightly and fold the edges of the stencil on the anchovies, so as to close the stuffing. Lightly grease the anchovies with a little extra virgin olive oil. Preheat oven to 200 degrees static and cook patties of anchovies Sicilian in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Flip stencils to transform patties of anchovies. Complete patties with a spoon of tomato sauce, grated Sicilian pecorino cheese and a basil leaf. Bon appétit!

You can prepare the patties of anchovies in advance and store in refrigerator, raw and wrapped in clingfilm, for 5-6 hours, then bake in the oven and serve. If you prefer a more full-bodied and less fresh, you can cook the tomato puree with a little oil and salt for a few minutes before using it.
