Drain the anchovies and add them to the crispy bread; add the onion, raisins and pine nuts. Season with oil, salt and pepper, mix well and place in fridge to season for about an hour.​

Wash the lettuce leaves, dry them gently dabbing and place them on individual saucers. ​

At the time of serving, fill the leaves with the ingredients; complete with a thread of De Nigris Low Sugar Balsamic Vinegar seasoning and a few leaves of fresh parsley.
