Spanish Anchovy flavoured vinager or preservative?

Question

Does anyone know how to make the anchovy flavoured vinager, or is it preservative, that you find olives sold in on the street markets in Spain, also what kind of vinager do they use to make the pickled onions that are pink in colour.
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Try and soak some anchovies in distilled vinegar and keep in the fridge for a few days - sieve off and try it. The anchovie may salt up the vinegar enough or you may want to add some more...easy does it.

You may have more success with anchovies in olive oil as the flavour will transfer better to oil than water.

I would imagine Spain being a big paprika consumer may use this to colour their vinegar to make the onions pink. The only pink onions I have seen in the UK were coloured with rasberry vinegar. yuk!
