To start your Polpette di Acciughe: |
 |
 |
Place anchovies, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, garlic, parsley, parmigiano cheese and wine in a mixing bowl. Combine the ingredients together well using your hands. |
 |
If the mixture is too dry, add more wine, or if its too wet, add more breadcrumbs. |
 |
Scoop mixture, in the amount of an egg, onto the palm of your hands and form into a compact ball. Repeat until mixture is consumed. |
 |
Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a deep pan. |
 |
Gently place balls in the hot oil, a few at time, and fry until golden brown. Turn balls over to cook on all sides. |
 |
Transfer to a plate with an absorbent paper towel. |
 |
Serve immediately or place into simmering tomato sauce for a few minutes. Serve with extra sauce. |
