Boquerones

I have a fabulous coworker, Yolanda, who made the most amazing tapas in honor of Spain's World Cup victory. Here is her recipe for boquerones (Spanish white anchovies). Yes, Yolanda is from Spain :)

Instructions

Buy them fresh if you can find them or in packages which have them marinated in brine. Clean and then marinate them in vinegar for at least 24 hours. Next, drain the brine and pour extra virgin olive oil and add very finely chopped fresh garlic and cilantro or parsley. That’s is the traditional way of eating them (well not the cilantro part, just parsley). You can also add olives and Piquillo peppers.
