One kilo of anchovies, one glass of rice, two large onions, one tablespoon of peanuts, one teaspoon of currants, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, enough oil.

Care should be taken to keep the rice firm.

After turning off the fire, add black pepper and chili pepper and mix.

The bottom of a small deep tray is oiled.

The anchovies are divided into two parts and placed on the tray with the shiny parts facing down. Anchovies are arranged around the edges.

The prepared filling is poured over it and spread. It is covered with anchovies on the side. Cover the rice with the remaining anchovies, with the shiny parts on top, without leaving any space. When arranging the anchovies, place them on top of each other so that they do not get separated as they will shrink while cooking. Bake the anchovies in the oven at 180 degrees until they are cooked. After taking it out of the oven, turn it upside down and serve.
