Spring Vegetable Tartine with White Anchovies image

I lifted this recipe almost verbatim from SHED, my current 'favorite place to eat.' If you're ever near Healdsburg, CA, definitely stop by. This intensely tasty tartine with aioli and veggies gets even better with the boquerones (white anchovies) which are so different from regular anchovies.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 garlic cloves, or more to taste, sliced
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest (preferably from Meyer lemon)
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¾ cup mayonnaise
4 large thick slices day-old French bread
16 white anchovy fillets
¾ cup curly endive, torn into bite-size pieces
¾ cup shaved rainbow carrot strips
½ cup very thinly sliced radishes
1 squeeze lemon juice
1 drizzle olive oil
4 edible flowers, such as nasturtium or calendula
1 tablespoon baby parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Place garlic into the bowl of a mortar or a small bowl. Add salt; mash until garlic is a smooth paste. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, cayenne, and mayonnaise. Stir until well blended.
  • Toast bread slices. Spread generously with the lemon aioli. Place anchovies, skin side up, on top of the aioli, about 4 fillets per tartine. For easier serving, cut the tartines in half at this point; set them back together before topping with the veggies.
  • Place carrot strips, endive, and radish slices in a bowl. Sprinkle with a splash of fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss lightly until veggies are dressed.
  • Place endive on the anchovies; arrange the carrots and radishes on the tartine. Top with edible flower petals and baby parsley.

I'm not sure about the white anchovies, but the rest of the recipe sounds great.

I'm not a fan of white anchovies, so I used crumbled feta cheese instead. The tartine was still delicious, but I think I would have liked it even more with the anchovies.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with half the amount of white anchovies next time.

This tartine is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some asparagus, zucchini, and tomatoes that needed to be used up, and this recipe was the perfect solution. The tartine was delicious and everyone loved it.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now, and it's always a hit. The tartine is light and flavorful, and the white anchovies add a touch of umami that takes it over the top.

Easy to make and absolutely delicious! I used a variety of spring vegetables from my garden, and the tartine turned out beautifully. The white anchovies added a nice briny flavor that really complemented the vegetables and cheese.

This tartine was a delightful spring treat! The combination of fresh vegetables, creamy goat cheese, and salty white anchovies was perfect. I especially loved the crispy baguette slices, which provided a nice contrast to the soft fillings.
