Pickle the anchovies (med., deguted) in: light soy, brown sugar, ginger root, balsamic vineagre, rock salt, coriander herb (no dill, please), thyme herb, parsley, garlic, chopped scallions, and lemon grass (trussed).

Methods: (1) steeped 48 hrs. (2-3 days) in a crock at 5 deg C.

(2) Cook anchovies with drippings over steam in a steamer.

E. g. of serving dish:

(a) anchovy appetizer as a sidedish together with pickled Acharra (Filipino traditional pickles)

(b) serve on top of steamed white rice

(c) noodles with porc & shrimp substituted from anchovies

(d) serve the marinade with eggplant into a fritata

(Foodie watchers, note, that this is a Eurasian variant of the Filipino "In-un-un-an", likened to pickled herring. We prefer you use the medium sized anchovies available from the local Palengke in the Filipinas rather than European herring.)

IN PRACTICE SOME
COOKING TIPS BY THE TIME DINNER COMES ROUND WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS:

#1 

Keep it simple. Note and go through each step of the cooking process from prep time (including arranging ingredients), utensils, including pots and pans, preheat the oven and set timer for cooking time, after let set aside to cool down according to instructions; serve also in the manner for presentation as recommended by the recipe-maker.

​

#2

Check for doneness with cooking time: e. g. for roasts, use a roasting thermometer, a toothpick for breads, puddings and cakes; note the need to pre-coat the sheet pans for baking with shortening/oil. For pasta and vegetables follow carefully instructions to be al dente adding enough water, gentle boiling with salt added and tasting regularly the bite, followed by draining and washing several times.

​

#3

As a rule we prepare and present foods readily using only the implements and serving dishes and/or pans that allow for this to avoid any extra artistry thru decorative needs as is limited, involved with the dish. Alternatively follow according to script the illustrated suggestion on the packaging.
