Stuffed Anchovies

Stuffed and fried, anchovies make a hearty main dish.

Split open some anchovies, wash them well in white wine and bone them. Mince a little cooked fish of any kind, place in a basin with very fine breadcrumbs, and make it into a paste by adding yolk of eggs. Stuff the anchovies with this mixture, dip into frying batter, plunge into a fryingpan of boiling fat and fry to a light color. Take out when done, drain and arrange on the dish, and serve with a garnish of fried parsley.
