Anchovies (drained)

Anchovies are small, oily saltwater fish, most commonly sold preserved in salt or oil after being filleted and cured. They have an intensely salty, savoury flavour that dissolves into sauces and dressings, making them a common base for dishes like Caesar dressing and puttanesca. Even a small amount adds significant depth of umami flavour to a dish.

Draining removes excess liquid, so a drained measurement is lighter and less liquid-heavy than an undrained one.
