Mincing Anchovies

You have a recipe that asks for minced anchovies, you look at the little critters and wonder how this is going to be done?

There are two simple resolutions to this problem.

First, grab a small bowl and a fork. Place one anchovy at a time in the bowl and press against it with the fork until it is broken up. Move the minced anchovy into another bowl and repeat the process until all anchovies have been mashed.

If you only have a couple of anchovies to mince, you can just grab your garlic press.
