Bagna Cauda Anchovy And Garlic Sauce Recipes

BAGNA CAUDA RECIPE

Steps:

• First, prepare your choice of vegetables and bread for dunking. You can choose whatever you prefer, cut into slices ready to serve.
• Heat a little oil in a pan and add the anchovy fillets and crushed/minced garlic. Heat the anchovies and garlic until the anchovies dissolve and mix in with the garlic.
• Give it long enough so the garlic is cooked but not browned or burnt. Add the butter then remove the pan from the heat.
• Whisk the butter, anchovies and garlic together until it's all thoroughly combined then transfer the dip into a warm ramekin and serve.

BAGNA CAUDA (ANCHOVY AND GARLIC SAUCE)

Steps:

• Put the halved garlic cloves in a small saucepan and pour over half the milk. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes.
• Strain the garlic through a sieve and discard the milk. Return the garlic to the pan, pour over the rest of the milk, then bring to a simmer and cook for a further 20 minutes.
• Strain the garlic again but this time reserve the milk in a jug. Return the garlic to the pan, off the heat, then blend to a smooth paste with a stick blender, adding just enough of the reserved milk to create a creamy, not too runny sauce.
• Stir in the melted butter and oil. The bagna cauda shouldn't need much seasoning but taste it to see. Traditionally we eat it with vegetables such as peppers, fennel, roast onions, celery, jerusalem artichokes and cardoons. It's also great with crudités, cubes of bread or boiled new potatoes.

BAGNA-CAUDA BUTTER (WITH GARLIC AND ANCHOVIES)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. When the oil just begins to warm, add the garlic and anchovies and cook slowly, stirring until the garlic becomes toasty brown and the anchovies dissolve (about ten minutes). Let cool completely.
• Process the butter in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Add the cooled garlic-anchovy mixture and a pinch of salt. Process until well blended. Taste and add more salt if needed. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the parsley. Refrigerate until firm enough to shape into a log.
• Put an 18-inch sheet of aluminum foil on your work surface. Spoon the butter down the center of the foil into a log about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Enclose in foil and twist the ends to make a sealed log, like a tootsie roll. Refrigerate for up to one week, or freeze for up to six months.
