Hot Anchovy Canapes

Ingredients:

2 cans (4 ounces) flat anchovy fillets
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice or flavored vinegar
Freshly ground pepper
8 to 10 slices of fresh French bread 1/2 inch thick
1 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped

Drain the oil off the anchovies and reserve. Place anchovies in a heavy bowl with the garlic and tomato paste. Muddle with a pestle or wooden spoon until the ingredients are pureed. Add the oil a few drop at a time until the mixture is thick yet smooth. Stir in lemon juice and add pepper to taste.

Toast the bread in a toaster oven slightly, then spread the anchovy mixture on the bread, pressing it into the crevices of the bread. Arrange the bread on a toaster oven baking sheet or a piece of sturdy foil and bake in the toaster oven for 10 minutes, or until anchovies are well warmed. Garnish with chopped parsley.
