Involtini Aka di Salvia is a Tuscan anchovy fritter; full of umami flavour which makes it very moreish in taste.

Ingredients:

anchovy fillets
1 good-sized bunch fresh sage
1 egg, beaten
sifted flour, lightly seasoned

Method:

Check the anchovies for saltiness and soak in water if they are too salty.

Once the anchovies are ready sandwich each fillet between two sage leaves and secure with a cocktail stick. Prepare a deep fat fryer by heating to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) then dip the involtini first in egg then in the flour.

Drop in the hot oil and fry until puffed-up and crisp. Serve immediately.
