PREPARATION

Gut the anchovies and remove the heads and bones. Rinse them under running water, and place them in a baking dish. Cover them with a sauce of oil, finely chopped garlic, lemon or vinegar, and pepper. Add the finely chopped parsley. Leave to rest in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours and serve garnished with lemon slices. 

NUTRITIONAL VALUE 

Anchovies are rich in iron, calcium, selenium, vitamin D, and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. A portion of this recipe is therefore very nutritious. Furthermore, adding fresh chili and lemon, rich in vitamin C, improves the absorption of the iron in the recipe.
