Ingredients

Method
    For the dip:

  • 1 cup cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 8-10 anchovy fillets, chopped
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • For dipping, any mix of:

  • Chicory spears
  • Fennel wedges
  • Celery sticks, peeled
  • Mangetout
  • Asparagus tips, blanched

In a saucepan over a medium heat, heat the cream and reduce until thick. Add the remaining dip ingredients and heat through, stirring, until the anchovies disintegrate – take care not to let the mixture boil. Serve with the dipping vegetables.

Cook’s notes: Serve this delicious hot dip with grissini (breadsticks) or hot vegetables, such as little new potatoes, steamed cauliflower florets or green beans.
