Method

8 soļi
  1. Soak the anchovies in cold water for 20–30 minutes, changing the water once. Drain, pat dry and pull out the backbone and any small bones.
  2. Mash the anchovies with the butter in a mortar or with a fork to a smooth paste.
  3. Bring the stock to the boil with the lemon slices. Whisk in the anchovy butter and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Thicken the sauce in one of three ways:
  5. Bread: stir in the crumbs and simmer for 5 minutes, whisking, until they have dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Flour: whisk in the flour paste and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Egg yolks: take the pan off the heat. Whisk the yolks with a ladle of the hot sauce, stir them in and heat gently, stirring, until the sauce thickens (about 80 °C). Don't let it boil, or it will curdle.
  8. Take out the lemon slices (our addition). Don't add salt; the anchovies are salty enough.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book mashes soaked, carefully boned anchovies very fine with butter, boils them in meat broth with lemons, and thickens the sauce with soft wheat bread or flour, or beats in egg yolk. The soaking time, the amounts and taking out the lemon are ours; lemon slices cooked for long can make a sauce bitter.

Serving

the book doesn't say here. Elsewhere it suggests an anchovy or oyster sauce for roast carp stuffed with oysters (03-042), and a brown anchovy sauce for black grouse (02-076). It goes well with boiled or roast fish, veal and poultry.

Anchovies

the book's sardeles are salted anchovies (German Sardellen), not sardines. Anchovies in oil need no soaking; use 10–12 fillets.

Stronger version

the book's herring sauce (05-034) is made in much the same way and, it says, is stronger than this one.
