Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 100 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 8 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 8 anchovy fillets roughly chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Mixed vegetables for dipping
  • Crusty bread to serve

Method
 

  1. Prepare and blanch vegetables as needed.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter over lowest heat.
  3. Add garlic, cook gently 8–10 minutes until soft.
  4. Add anchovies, cook 5 minutes until melted into the oil.
  5. Season with pepper.
  6. Serve warm with vegetables and bread.

Notes

Keep the heat low throughout to avoid a bitter, harsh flavour.
Good-quality anchovies make a real difference in this simple dip.
Serve warm for the best texture and flavour.
Not recommended for freezing.
