Re: What's your favourite snack/nibble to eat with a drink?
Make a dressing with about 350ml olive oil and juice of one lemon. Add a finely chopped, deseeded large red chili and a handful of finely chopped parsley and a little ground white pepper. This amount of dressing is enough for about 1kg of raw, whole anchovies before filleting and deboning.
Drain and rinse off the fillets. Put a little of the dressing in the bottom of a shallow glass dish. Put a single layer of fillets on the dressing and continue to layer fillets and dressing until all used up. These will keep for up to two weeks in the fridge and are well worth the effort.

Pull the head off and remove the innards - most will come out with the head. Using your thumb carefully open the fish out along the belly and carefully pull the bones away from the flesh. You can nip the spine between your fingers at the tail end. Drop into a bowl of chilled water while you do all the rest. (Tip: don't buy fish much smaller than 10cm - they're a right royal pain in the ar$e to clean). Drain the fish. Sprinkle rock salt in a shallow glass dish, add a single layer of fillets, sprinkle more salt, then fish then salt until all used. Gently pour in red grape vinegar to cover the fish. Cover dish with cling film and put in the fridge for about 12 hours. If you leave them for much longer the result is a bit too vinegary..
can't you get the fish monger guy to clean out the fish for you?

Calm down gramps. It ain't 1975 any more. Bit of an odd thing to say given how highly conventional Nigella's cooking was.

No, it's a portmanteau word. "pan" is Japanese for bread (from French pain), and "ko" 粉 means powder.
