Dunno if there are any anchovy lovers here, but these were excellent.

I fucking love anchovies! I just made a fried pizza with anchovies the other day!

If your supermarket has them pick up some premade dough, stretch out whatever size you want that will fit in the pan you have, and deep fry that mother for a minute or so until it's golden, flip and repeat. Then after that's done I top it with sauce, anchovies, onion, and mozzarella and put it under the broiler until the cheese gets a little browned.

Idk if it still classifies as shitty food but it's damn good and really easy.

That looks fantastic!

Anchovies are the food of the gods.

For someone who loves anchovies, this looks amazing. For people who dont, this is vomitfodder.

I used to order anchovy pizza in college so no one would ask me for any.

I'm angry that I'm allergic to fish now.

[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I love all tinned fish!

That looks like the sort of meal you throw together with what's lying around. It always tastes better than it looks.

The smell hot anchovies is not for the weak. Have flashbacks from working at a pizza place in the past.

I knew my pizza place hated when I'd order anchovies, so now I make it at home. Usually I'll bake them on frozen pizza, but tonight I tried my hand at something different.

What's the deal? What are anchovies like, compared to other toppings?

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Very fishy, very salty.

The worst part is that cheap ones taste like shit, good ones taste much better, if they get put on top and they get dried out and burnt they taste nasty, but if you bury them and they dont get cooked enough also not as nice.

But when they hit just right, they are magic.

Whoever down voted this is an absolute clown. This looks amazing.

I don't think I appreciate this thank you very much.

Can i have the recipe, lol. I'm sure it's simple but this looks good.

[–] AllOutOfBubbleGum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hah, sure! I've never been asked for a recipe before.

I dumped a can of tomatoes into a pan (not as good as fresh tomato, but it's what I had). Then I added a bit of oil, dash of salt, pepper, and onion powder. Then while it simmered, I smashed all the tomato chunks down with a spatula, and once most of the water boiled off, I got a nice tomato paste. (You can also buy cans of tomato paste to skip this part entirely, but it's all I had at the moment).

Then I spread a nice even layer of the paste over some sourdough bread, topped it with two different types of cheese (American and Swiss), and then threw some anchovies on top. I like to take a fork to splatter some of the anchovy oil from the can on there too for extra flavor.

Then I just popped it in the oven at around 375 for about 20 minutes. I'm not sure if you've made pizza bread before, but one of the key concerns in my experience is whether the inner part of the bread is getting crispy enough, so I'll usually lift up one of the bread slices afterwards with a spatula to see if it's been properly toasted.

Yea dude. Solid. I'm gonna add this masterpiece to sit alongside yours:

Take Jalapenos. Cut them in half. Take out seeds/pith. Put cream cheese or whatever cheese in them. Wrap them in bacon. Bake/air-fry them until the bacon gets crisp. Then put those in a grilled cheese with a slice of tomato.

Edit: use mayo for the grilled cheese instead of butter. I swear by it.
