ANCHOVIES SANDWICH RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Hollow out the bread by removing most of the inside crumb. Reserve 1/2 cup of the crumb for the filling. Place the olive oil, capers,parsley, garlic, pepper, and anchovies (or salt) in a food processor. Process until the garlic is finely chopped, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the bell pepper,tomatoes, onion, olives, and the reserved bread filling. Toss to combine.Layer half the mixture in the bottom half of the hollowed-out bread. Top with the hard-cooked eggs and the remaining mixture. Replace the top of the loaf. Wrap the filled loaf with plastic wrap. Weigh it down with a heavy object, such as a cast-iron skillet filled with cans. Place it in the refrigerator. Let sit at least 10 hours or overnight. Before serving, cut the loaf into 6 wedges with a sharp bread knife.

Steps:

• Remove the crusts from the bread leaving a number of slightly smaller rectangular slices. Cut the mozzarella into slices roughly the same size as the bread: make sure that the cheese doesn't protrude over the edges. Place the cheese slices onto kitchen paper to remove as much of the preserving liquid from the mozzarella as possible. Place a mozzarella slice and some anchovy between two slices of bread. Press down the edges, sealing them as well as possible. Beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt, then coat the sandwiches in flour, dip in the egg before finally coating in breadcrumbs. Fry the mozzarella sandwiches a few at a time in hot oil, browning them well on both sides. Transfer them to kitchen paper as they are done and serve immediately.
