Recipe Instructions

* Note: See the "Basic Bread Dough" and "Marinated Anchovies" recipes which are included in this collection.

Heat 3 inches olive oil in tall frying pan to 375 degrees.

Roll dough into four 10-inch circles and fry, one at a time, until golden-brown, about 6 to 7 minutes, to create the tarongia. Drain each tarongia on paper towels and set aside.

Remove fronds from fennel bulb and reserve. Trim bulb and slice 1/8-inch thick. In a medium saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil until just smoking and add fennel. Cook until soft and golden-brown, stirring regularly, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain fennel and allow to cool. Mix in fennel fronds and set aside.

Spread 1/4 fennel mixture on top of each tarongia and sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons Caciocavallo. Place 4 anchovies on each tarongia and sprinkle with remaining Caciocavallo. Broil each tarongia until light-golden-brown and serve warm.
