Anchovy sandwiches are a refined snack option from Turkish cuisine that surprises with its harmonious flavor combination. Anchovies soaked in oil give the dish a rich sea aroma, while butter softens its intensity, creating a delicate texture. Thinly sliced eggs add depth and a light creaminess, while fresh green onions and dill refresh the dish, making it more vibrant. Lemon wedges provide a slight tanginess that highlights the salty taste of the fish, and cucumbers add a crunchy note. This dish is perfect as a light snack with wine or an aperitif and as an original treat for friendly gatherings. Historically, anchovies have been widely used in Mediterranean cuisine, and this recipe pays homage to their rich heritage.
