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.
