Pizza with mozzarella, anchovies, chilli, capers and parsley

Make sure you get hold of good-quality tinned Spanish anchovies for this, otherwise it's not worth making it.

Cut the anchovy fillets in half lengthways and add to a bowl with the sliced chilli – feel free to use as much as you like – the capers, a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and the lemon zest. Squeeze over a little lemon juice as well and mix up. Let the anchovies sit in the marinade for 15 minutes. Smear the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base and scatter torn-up pieces of mozzarella over the top. Evenly lay over the anchovy fillets, scatter over the capers and chilli, and sprinkle with a little parsley and seasoning. Drizzle with the leftover marinating oil and cook until crisp and golden.

"Smear the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base".
Ciao luigi
