WARM GARLIC ANCHOVY DIP

Steps:

• In a mortar and pestle or mini-chopper, mash the garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon olive oil into a smooth paste, and transfer to a small bowl. Mash (or chop) the anchovy fillets into a smooth paste. (Alternatively, chop or slice the garlic and anchovy by hand, separately.)
• Put the garlic (crushed, chopped, or sliced) in the saucepan with the butter, and set over medium-low heat or a tabletop heat source. Cook slowly until the garlic is thoroughly softened and melted in the butter. Stir in the anchovies and the remaining olive oil, and heat over a low flame, mashing the anchovies with the back of a spoon until thoroughly disintegrated.
• When the bagna cauda is piping hot, whisk the sauce briefly to blend and emulsify, and serve with cut vegetables alongside (see box on following page).
