BAGNA CAUDA

Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield about 2 cups sauce

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 5 cloves garlic, peeled and microplaned or minced
12 anchovies preserved in olive oil, drained and chopped
1/3 to 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
A variety of raw vegetables, including fennel, cauliflower, Belgian endive, sweet peppers and zucchini

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a pan with the garlic and anchovies and cook over low heat, stirring, until you have a melted, muddy mess. Everything should begin to meld together. Whisk in 6 tablespoons of butter, and as soon as it has melted, remove from the heat and give a few more beats of your whisk so that everything is creamy and amalgamated. Taste, and if you feel you want this as a dipping sauce - which is meant to be pungent but not acrid. If you want the sauce a little more mellow, whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour into a dish that, ideally, fits over a flame so that it does not get cold at the table.
  • Dip in the crudites and eat.

Ever since a family friend introduced us to this Italian dip, we have made it a tradition on New Year's Eve. You have to really like garlic to enjoy this. I have heard that some people omit the cream and substitute olive oil also. Serve with crusty Italian bread, raw cabbage wedges, lettuce, bread sticks or crackers.

Time 22m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Olive oil
8 cloves garlic, minced
6 anchovies, optional
Large pinch chili flakes
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon minced parsley leaves

Steps:

  • In a hot pan, pour a good amount of olive oil in. When the oil starts to warm up, add garlic and turn the flame down.
  • Add the anchovies, if using (don't worry about mincing them as they will dissolve in the mixture). The anchovies should cook in the garlic oil until the garlic becomes brown and the anchovies dissolve.
  • When the garlic gets light brown, about 5 minutes, add chili flakes until they toast up and then turn flame off. Add more olive oil and salt and pepper for flavor.
  • Right before you heat the sauce in your fondue pot, add some minced parsley to cook in the sauce.
