Ingredients

2 cups Italian parsley leaves (from about 1 bunch), minced
6 cloves garlic, minced (2 Tbsp.)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 anchovies in oil
¹⁄₄–¹⁄₂ extra-virgin olive oil
4 oz. pecorino cheese, thinly sliced (about 8 slices)
4 small crusty sandwich rolls, halved crosswise

Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, add the parsley, garlic, and a pinch each salt and pepper; stir well. Gently stir in the anchovies and the olive oil, starting with 1⁄4 cup oil and adding more as needed to saturate the parsley (it should be shiny and moist but not runny). Let rest 30 minutes.

Step 2

When ready to serve, distribute the sliced pecorino atop the bottom halves of the rolls, followed by the parsley mixture and anchovies. Top with the other halves of the rolls.
