Tartine di acciughe

There are a number of ways one can use anchovies when making canapés–as a paste for spreading with either butter, cheese, or olives; whole, or cut into strips, and just arranged on top of a baguette in combination with other sliced ingredients such as tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, gherkins, cheese, and roasted red bell peppers; or as a filling for prebaked pie tarts that are then served as such or inverted on top of a toast and garnished.
