In the heart of Sicilian cuisine lies the delightful Anchovy Panzerotti, a dish that bursts with flavour and tradition. 
Brought to you by Seby Caruso, these golden pouches are filled with the salty intensity of anchovies and the creamy notes of tuma cheese. 
The aroma of frying dough and the creamy, salty filling evoke memories of family gatherings and festive occasions. 
Enjoy them during a casual evening or at a grand celebration; they are sure to captivate everyone. Anchovy Panzerotti pair beautifully with a glass of Cerasuolo di Vittoria, making them perfect for any season or occasion.

👨‍🍳 Preparation

  1. 1

    Create a well in the semolina flour on a work surface and add eggs, extra virgin olive oil, and lukewarm water. Work the ingredients into a smooth, soft dough.

  2. 2

    Roll out the dough into thin sheets and cut out discs. Place bits of anchovy and cheese on each disc, fold in half, and seal the edges with a fork.

  3. 3

    Fry the panzerotti in extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil until golden and crispy. Remove excess oil and serve warm.

💡 Tips and Variations

For a variation, try using mozzarella if tuma cheese is unavailable. Adding a pinch of chilli flakes can enhance the flavour for those who enjoy a little heat.

📦 Storage

  • • Allow the Anchovy Panzerotti to cool completely before storing to prevent condensation.
  • • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. Note that they may lose some of their crispiness.
  • • To reheat, use a preheated oven at 180°C for 5-7 minutes to restore some crispiness.

🍷 Pairing

Pair Anchovy Panzerotti with a glass of Cerasuolo di Vittoria. Its floral and fruity aromas complement the salty and creamy flavours of the dish.
