Chef John's Bagna Cauda image

If there were ever a recipe to tweak to your own tastes, it's this one. You can adjust the amounts of garlic and anchovy, as well as the proportion of olive oil to butter. You can also control how long you cook the mixture before it's presented. I hear from my friends in Northern Italy that they use twice as much anchovy and garlic as I did. Serve in a small chafing dish or fondue pot with crusty bread, roasted carrots, blanched asparagus, endive, red peppers, and/or roasted potatoes.

Time 25m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped, or more to taste
1 pinch kosher salt
6 anchovy fillets
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Grind garlic and salt together with a mortar and pestle. Add anchovies; grind with mortar and pestle until a coarse paste forms.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk butter into oil until butter melts and foams, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to low and stir garlic-anchovy mixture into oil mixture; cook and stir until flavors blend and mixture is hot, about 5 minutes.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less anchovies. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. The sauce was too oily and the bread was too hard. I think I would have preferred it with less olive oil and more garlic.

Chef John's Bagna Cauda is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. The flavors of the anchovies, garlic, and olive oil are perfectly balanced, and the bread is the perfect vessel for scooping up the sauce. I will definitely be making this again!
