Anchovies add umami flavour to any recipe, and are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, making them ideal to keep on hand to add an extra pop to many dishes. Here, we’ve churned up a tamer version of gentleman’s relish to spread on your morning toast, added them to tomato sauce for a richer flavour in a shorter amount of time, and blitzed them into a zesty vinaigrette to brighten up your greens.
