Recipes with Anchovy
4 recipes
There are 4 recipes here that use Anchovy, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Village-Style Fried Rice at 15 minutes; the longest, Anchovy and Peanut Sambal, takes 30. 3 of them finish in twenty minutes or less, which is usually what matters on a weeknight.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 4 are properly spicy.
Anchovy turns up most often alongside Red chili, Palm sugar, Cooked rice and Chicken egg — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
