CREAMY ANCHOVY DIP
A simple yet flavorful dip that's great with raw vegetables. The subtle hint of anchovy enhances the other ingredients but no one will know they are in there. This is easy to put together with what you probably already have on hand but is a nice change from the typical dip fare.

RADISHES WITH CREAMY ANCHOVY BUTTER
The French custom of serving radishes with sweet butter and sea salt is a lesson in simplicity; there's something so satisfying about a lick of creamy butter against the snap of peppery radish. Here, anchovy paste adds a singular savor to the butter, but the ease of the tradition remains. It's worth seeking out small radishes like the French Breakfast variety; if you can find only big ones, just halve them.
