Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington’s 500th Deathday Party
Sir Nick’s Deathday Party: Anchovies and Burrata on Toast
I first had a dish similar to this at Gjelina in Venice, California. I honestly was not expecting much but when I took my first bite I was in love. I love anchovies on anything and everything. I know the flavor and smell may throw people off initially but it adds so much flavor that I would expect it to be a big hit with the ghosts at Sir Nicholas’s Deathday Party. Another bonus is that this dish is so easy to put together. You can skip the step of grilling red peppers and purchase the jarred version at the grocery store instead.
