Cous Cous Anchovies Cheesy Balls
Ingredients
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup cous cous
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 egg white
  • 5 anchovies fillets
  • 2 cups grated scamorza cheese
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp minced parsley
  • 3 Tbsp breadcrumbs
Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F/180C degrees.

  2. Fill a saucepan with 1 cup of water and bring to boil.

  3. When the water starts boiling turn the heat off and add a pinch of salt, olive oil and couscous. Stir with a fork and cover with a lid.

  4. Let it rest 5 minutes. Remove the lid and break the couscous with a fork. Set it aside.

  5. In a large bowl add the anchovies and the minced parsley, mix to create a paste. Add in the cous cous and mix well to combine the flavors. Add the egg white, the grated scamorza cheese, the Parmesan and breadcrumbs. Mix everything together.

  6. Using your hands (I would suggest to wet them with water for an easier result) create small balls using 1 Tbsp of the couscous mix.

  7. Place the balls one next to the other on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil on top and bake in the preheated oven to 400F/180C for 15 min.

    Let the couscous anchovies cheesy balls cool down for 5 minutes and serve warm.
