Olive Oil With Anchovies And Chili Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Place bell peppers directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner on high heat or on a grill. Roast peppers, turning with tongs, until blackened all over. (Alternatively, broil peppers on a baking sheet, turning, until skin has charred.)
• Transfer peppers to a large bowl, and cover immediately with plastic wrap. Set aside to steam, about 15 minutes. Peel peppers; discard skins. Remove stems, seeds, and ribs, and cut each pepper lengthwise into 8 strips. Transfer to a small non-reactive bowl.
• Toss peppers with garlic and 1 tablespoon oil; set aside to marinate, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
• Arrange peppers on a serving plate, and top with anchovy strips. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired, and drizzle with remaining teaspoon oil. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut peppers in large strips, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top each with an anchovy fillet. Drizzle with olive oil and optional lemon juice or vinegar. Serve on rounds of bread with capers, if you like.

Steps:

• Put the spaghetti in a large pot of well-salted rapidly boiling water and cook only until firmly al dente. (Depending on the brand of pasta, this will be 8 to 10 minutes, but check frequently to see. )
• While the pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, without letting it brown. Stir in the anchovies, capers and red pepper and cook for a half-minute more, then turn off the heat.
• Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour in the garlic mixture, add the parsley, if using, and toss well to coat. Serve with grated Parmesan if desired.

Steps:

• Roast the peppers: Place each pepper directly on the flames of a stovetop burner or under the broiler as close to the flames as possible. (Alternatively, place the pepper on a hot charcoal or gas grill.) Turning frequently with tongs, allow the skin to blacken and blister all over; About 10 minutes should suffice. Remove from flames, and leave to rest on a plate until cool enough to handle. Ideally, you should cook all the peppers at once rather than one at a time.
• Cut the roasted pepper in half lengthwise. Using a small knife, scrape away and discard seeds. Turn over and scrape away the blackened skin. Wipe with a paper towel, if necessary. Do not rinse - a little char is fine. Leave the pepper halves in one piece or cut into strips 3/4-inch wide. Place in a small bowl, toss with salt and pepper, red-pepper flakes, garlic and a little olive oil. Leave to marinate at least 10 minutes.
• Lay pepper halves or strips flat on a plate and add 3 or 4 anchovy fillets per serving. Garnish with a few capers and olives. Sprinkle with a little more salt and olive oil, and scatter basil leaves over the top.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.
• Add the sliced fennel bulb and the bucatini and cook until the pasta is al dente, approximately 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the 2 tblsps olive oil in a large skillet.
• Add the chopped fennel bulb and saute over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic, half the wild fennel, the chopped anchovies and the red pepper flakes.
• Cook, stirring, for 6-8 minutes, or until the greens are tender.
• Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking liquid.
• Chop the boiled fennel and add it to the sauce along with ¼ cup of the cooking liquid and the drained pasta.
• Drizzle with the Olive Oil with Anchovies and Chili Peppers.
• Add the remaining chopped fennel and toss well.
• Taste, adjust the seasonings to your liking, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Drain the anchovies and pat dry with paper towels.
• Chop 1 of the anchovies and place in a clean and absolutely dry 2-cup bottle.
• Add the whole anchovies and the chili pepper.
• Fill the bottle with olive oil, cover, and let stand in a dark place for a week, shaking from time to time, before using.
• This oil will keep for 3-6 months, stored in a cool, dark place.
