Slana riba i pulenta (Silba Island)
Ingredients:
- flour for polenta
- anchovies
Preparation:
Cook polenta “hard” (not instant polenta, but ‘real’) and when it is cooked put it in a mold (square or oval). When it cools down, cut it into ‘feta’, approximately 1 cm, and lightly fry them in olive oil. Lightly heat the salted sardines in the same olive oil that was used to heat the polenta.
It is served by placing 5 sardines over several pieces of polenta.
Remark:
This dish was prepared for brunch or as an appetizer, and in “poor” times it was also the main dish. There is also a song on Silba: “Oh, oh, oh, pasta and beans, salted fish and pulp, that’s all good”.
