Boquerones en Vinagre
(Spanish Anchovies in vinegar tapas)
 
1 1/2 kgs fresh anchovies
1/2 liter vinegar
olive oil
parsley
garlic
 
Clean the anchovies (get rid of the head, spines, and guts leaving
two filets. To do this, rip the head of, remove the guts pull with
the thumb towards the tail, and the spine will just stick to one
of the filets, just remove it. Its quite easy), salt them and put
them in water. Leave them in water for an hour. Rinse them several
times with fresh water.  Dry with a kitchen towel, place in a big
bowl and cover with vinegar (the acid in the vinegar is what cooks
the anchovies, so don't be scared to add more if they are not
completely covered). Leave it in the refrigerator at least 8 hours
or until they become white. Remove them from the vinegar and place
them in a platter; pour olive oil over them and sprinkle with
chopped garlic and parsley. (Add salt if necessary).
