Acciughini are delicious Italian sage-and-anchovy fritters. They're made with a combination of large sage leaves, flour, rinsed and filleted salt-cured anchovies, olive oil, white wine, and beaten egg whites. The sage leaves are coated with flour and the anchovies are cut in half and sandwiched between two sage leaves. The flour, egg whites, wine, and olive oil are mixed to make a batter in which the sage-and-anchovy combination is dipped. The fritters are fried until crunchy in texture and golden brown in color. This appetizer is served hot, and it's especially popular in Piombino, a coastal town in Tuscany.
