Bocadillo de anchoas

At its simplest, bocadillo de anchoas typically consists of a Spanish-style baguette (barra de pan) that’s been sliced along the middle and filled with anchovies. The cut side of the bread is often rubbed with ripe tomato halves, olive oil, and garlic to make the sandwich juicier and imbue it with additional flavor. Apart from the canned anchovies, other typical ingredients used in the filling include slices of goat cheese (queso de cabra) or Manchego cheese, tomatoes, onions, marmelada de pimientos (pepper marmalade), roasted red peppers (piquillo peppers), and olives. This Spanish bocadillo variety is usually eaten as an afternoon snack (merienda) or for lunch.
