Ingredients (4 servings)

8oz beets, skip step 1 if using precooked
3 cups Lifeway plain kefir
1 cup diced cucumber, about 2 persian cucumbers

$3 vs. $21 tinned anchovies 🎣 Tinned Fish Talk $3 vs. $21 tinned anchovies 🎣 Tinned Fish Talk

🐟 Cento anchovy fillets ($3) are your pantry workhorse—intensely salty, fishy, and ready to melt into a garlicky pasta or Caesar dressing. A little goes a long way, so I prefer to cook with these instead of eating them as-is.

🐟 El Capricho’s anchovies ($21 from @rainbowtomatoesgarden) are hand-cleaned, aged in barrels for at least 12 months, then carefully hand-packed into each tin. It’s rich, buttery, almost meaty in flavor. These are a centerpiece, not meant to be hidden or cooked.

Salt-cured tinned anchovies are semi-preserved, so I recommend storing them in the refrigerator. Let the tin come to room temperature for an hour or two before consuming.
