Also known as alici rolls, this is a southern Italian appetizer that is traditionally served at the New Year. I have embellished it from its original recipe of just anchovies and dough. I don't measure when I cook, so all measurements below are estimates. Ingredients:
2.5 (2 ounce) cans anchovies (with or without capers) |
2 tablespoons creme fraiche or 2 tablespoons greek yogurt |
3 -4 leeks, white parts only, sliced thinly |
1 lb pizza dough (easily obtained at an italian bakery) or 1 lb bread dough (easily obtained at an italian bakery) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 (ish).
2. Mash anchovies together with creme fraiche.
3. Slice leeks.
4. Roll out pizza dough.
5. Smear on anchovy-creme fraiche mixture as evenly as possible, leaving about 2 inches clear at all edges.
6. Sprinkle about a handful of sliced leeks over all.
7. Roll up like a strudel.
8. Bake for about 30 minutes.
9. Cool and slice like pinwheels.
10. Serves about 4 people as an appetizer, 2 as an entree.
11. Golden raisins can also be added to the anchovy mixture.
12. Goes well with a good Gewurztraminer.
