Olive Anchovy Mayo Recipes

ANCHOVY-WRAPPED OLIVES

Steps:

• Lay 12 anchovy fillets on a paper towel and gently pat dry. Wrap each anchovy around a garlic-stuffed green olive, then skewer with a toothpick or cocktail pick.

ANCHOVY MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Combine garlic and milk in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan and gently simmer over low heat, uncovered, until garlic is very tender, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes, then purée mixture with anchovies, oil, and mayonnaise in a blender until smooth. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.) Add more milk to thin if necessary.

CAESAR MAYONNAISE DRESSING

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the garlic paste, the anchovy paste, the lemon juice, the mustard, and the Worcestershire sauce, add the mayonnaise, the Parmesan, and pepper to taste, and whisk the dressing until it is combined well. Toss the dressing with salad greens or serve it as a dip with crudités.

BLACK OLIVE, ANCHOVY, & CAPER SPREAD (GARUM)

Steps:

• Place the olives, anchovies, capers, garlic, egg yolk, rum and mustard in a food processor and process in quick pulses to a medium-fine paste, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed. Gradually add the olive oil, pulsing several times after each addition. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour so that the flavors develop. Serve with grilled bread, toast or bread sticks. The spread can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 weeks.
• Note: if the only pitted olives you can find are Kalamatas, soak them briefly in cold water and use fewer capers and anchovies. To pit olives, place them in a plastic bag. Lay the bag on a flat surface, and crush them lightly with the flat side of a large knife, mallet or heavy skillet. Then pick out and discard the pits. Cooking time includes standing time.

EASY HOMEMADE OLIVE OIL MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Pour eggs, olive oil, canola oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, dry mustard, and salt into a large mason jar.
• Place the blade of an immersion blender near the bottom of the jar and blend, starting at high speed until combined, about 20 seconds. Raise the blender using an up and down motion and mix until mayonnaise is emulsified, about 1 minute.
• Place a lid on the jar and refrigerate until use, for up to two weeks.
