    I made this tonight for dinner and it was so good. I used anchovy paste as I didn't have fresh anchovies on hand. I'm a big fan of capers and black olives, so it was a win win for me.

      This was so good! I never mentioned anchovies because I knew my family wouldn't eat it and its the first time I "knowingly" ate anchovies. Never knew they were there lol I will be making this again for sure! Oh and I added some grilled shrimp! Yum!
