    Cook’s tip

    Buying anchovies in a jar reduces waste as you only have to use what you need. If you use canned anchovies, put the unused fillets and the oil they come with into a dish, then immerse them by topping up with extra virgin olive oil. Cover and chill until needed. The oil will solidify and become opaque, so return to room temperature before use.
