Anchovies are not just a pizza topping anymore! These tiny, salty fish are becoming more popular in a variety of dishes, including those cooked in a baking dish. While some may be hesitant to cook with anchovies, they add a depth of flavor and dimension to any recipe.

To start, anchovies can be found in multiple forms. They may be packed in oil, salted, or even canned. Depending on the recipe and personal preference, any of these options can work in a baking dish.

One classic example of using anchovies in a baking dish is in the Italian dish, caponata. This dish is a cooked vegetable salad made with eggplant, tomatoes, onions, and celery. Anchovies are often added to the dish for a salty flavor and to meld the flavors together.

Another way to incorporate anchovies in a baking dish is to make a classic French dish – ratatouille. Similar to caponata, ratatouille is a vegetable dish made with eggplant, tomatoes, onions, zucchini, and bell peppers. Anchovies can be added to the dish while cooking or may be sprinkled on top before baking.

Anchovies can also be used in baking meat dishes. Beef tenderloin, for example, can be stuffed with garlic, anchovies, and herbs before baking. The anchovies will make the meat more flavorful and tender.

Not only do anchovies add flavor to a baking dish, but they also come with some nutritional benefits. They are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain health and reducing inflammation in the body. They also contain protein and minerals such as calcium and iron.

When cooking with anchovies, it is important to keep in mind that a little goes a long way. Due to their strong and salty flavor, just a small amount can add significant depth to a dish. It is also wise to remove the anchovies from the oil or can and chop them finely before adding to a recipe to ensure they are evenly distributed.

One must also take care to not overdo the anchovies as the salt content can become overpowering of the other flavors in the dish. This is why adding them as a delicate touch is essential.

In conclusion, anchovies are a great addition to any baking dish. They add a depth of flavor and complexity that other ingredients often cannot bring to the table. From caponata to beef tenderloin, the possibilities are endless. So, next time you’re in the mood to try something new in your baking dishes, give anchovies a try and delight your taste buds!
