Wash the anchovies and clean them by removing the head, tail and central bone. Rinse them well with plenty of running water to remove any trace of blood.

In the meantime, wash the cherry tomatoes and stew them whole with a little water in a saucepan with basil. Cook at full heat for 5 minutes, then simmer for twenty minutes.
