Spicy Dilis

What is the first thing that you think about when you hear the words Spicy Dilis? Are you thinking of the pre-packaged spicy dried anchovies sold in sari-sari stores? Yes, the ones with red coating. I am a big fan of this stuff; I’m not sure if you are. I know that eating those packaged anchovies is scary, but I still did because I love the taste.

I remember a time when I almost ate a staple. Yes, that shiny metallic thing used to hold pieces of paper together. Each pack of spicy dilis is stapled in a long card board; it is not impossible for the staple to get into the package. After that incident, I tried to learn the recipe so that I can enjoy clean Spicy Dilis anytime.
