  • 4-5 cloves of garlic
  • 12 anchovies
  • 120g/4oz unsalted butter
  • Selection of raw vegetables such as fennel, cauliflower

Instructions

  • Put the olive oil in a pan with the garlic and anchovies and stir over a low heat for a few minutes.
  • Whisk in 90g of the butter, and as soon as it has melted, remove from the heat and whisk a few more times so that everything is creamy and amalgamated.
  • Taste, and if you feel you want this dipping sauce, which is meant to be pungent but not acrid, a little more mellow, then whisk in two more tablespoons of butter.
  • Pour into a fondue dish over a flame or just serve in a very warm bowl.
  • Serve with the vegetable crudités for dipping.
