Method
Wash the tomatoes, cut in half and put them to dry a little in the oven with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt for 15 minutes at 180°C.

Rinse the anchovies under running water, then open them up like a book and remove the bones and the tail; dry them by dabbing with absorbent paper. Put them in a bowl and season with a little salt, white wine vinegar and a pinch of oregano.

Arrange the anchovies on a baking sheet, place the yellow tomatoes cut in half on top, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, grated pecorino cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Heat the oven to 220°C and bake the anchovies for 4 minutes.
To assemble the dish: place the dried tomatoes as a base, arrange the anchovies au gratin with the yellow tomatoes with a spatula on them and decorate with a few fresh basil leaves and basil pesto.

Enjoy!
