Anchoïade Recipes

ANCHOïADE

Steps:

• Begin by pounding the anchovies (with their oil) to a pulp, either using a pestle and mortar or a basin and the end of a rolling pin. Then pit the olives, chop their flesh up finely and add this to the anchovy mixture along with the chopped onion, tomato and a few drops of wine vinegar. Stir thoroughly, then add the crushed garlic, tomato puree, oregano, parsley and some freshly milled pepper, and stir again. Then spread the mixture generously on the croutons. All this can be done in advance. Then to finish off, pour a few drops of oil over each slice, place them under a pre-heated medium grill for 5 minutes to heat through, and sprinkle with chopped basil before serving.

ANCHOïADE RECIPE

Steps:

• Fit the food processor with a blade, and set it to whirl. Drop in the garlic, so it smashes to smithereens. Drop in all the anchovies at once. Add the olive oil and vinegar. Then stop the machine, scrape down the sides, and whiz until pretty smooth.
• Spoon into a small bowl and serve with a few handfuls of fresh sugar snaps, or spoon it over roasted red and yellow peppers, or serve it as a dip for olive bread.

Steps:

• Coarsely chop anchovies; combine with garlic and oil in a small skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until anchovies melt, stirring while cooking to crush anchovies into a paste.
• Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice, parsley, and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PUNTARELLA WITH GREEN ANCHOïADE

Steps:

• Remove the tender inner leaves of the puntarella and cut the larger green leaves in thirds. Using a mandoline, finely slice the remaining core. (If using dandelion greens, remove and discard the stems and cut the leaves into thirds.) Rinse in cold water, drain, wrap in paper towels and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Prepare the anchoïade (anchovy sauce) by combining the anchovies, garlic, olives and vinegar in a food processor. With the motor running, pour in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix again.
• Place 3 tablespoons of the anchoïade in the bottom of a salad bowl. Add the chilled leaves and mix well. Serve with toasted bread.
