Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. 1 sextarius (2 ⅓ cup/546 mL) anchovies or other fatty fish
  2. 3 sextarii (7 cups/1.638 L) wine

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Add anchovies and wine to a pot.
  2. Boil the mixture until thick.
  3. Strain the fluid through a sieve, and bottle for future use.
