SPRING VEGETABLE TARTINE WITH WHITE ANCHOVIES

Spring Vegetable Tartine with White Anchovies image

I lifted this recipe almost verbatim from SHED, my current 'favorite place to eat.' If you're ever near Healdsburg, CA, definitely stop by. This intensely tasty tartine with aioli and veggies gets even better with the boquerones (white anchovies) which are so different from regular anchovies.

Ingredients

1 garlic cloves, or more to taste, sliced
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest (preferably from Meyer lemon)
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¾ cup mayonnaise
4 large thick slices day-old French bread
16 white anchovy fillets
¾ cup curly endive, torn into bite-size pieces
¾ cup shaved rainbow carrot strips
½ cup very thinly sliced radishes
1 squeeze lemon juice
1 drizzle olive oil
4 edible flowers, such as nasturtium or calendula
1 tablespoon baby parsley leaves

Steps:

Place garlic into the bowl of a mortar or a small bowl. Add salt; mash until garlic is a smooth paste. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, cayenne, and mayonnaise. Stir until well blended.
Toast bread slices. Spread generously with the lemon aioli. Place anchovies, skin side up, on top of the aioli, about 4 fillets per tartine. For easier serving, cut the tartines in half at this point; set them back together before topping with the veggies.
Place carrot strips, endive, and radish slices in a bowl. Sprinkle with a splash of fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss lightly until veggies are dressed.
Place endive on the anchovies; arrange the carrots and radishes on the tartine. Top with edible flower petals and baby parsley.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The tartine was a bit bland for my taste, and the crust was a bit too soft. I might try it again with some different ingredients.

I'm not a huge fan of anchovies, but this tartine changed my mind! The white anchovies added a salty, briny flavor that complemented the sweetness of the vegetables perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This tartine was an absolute delight! The combination of the flaky crust, creamy anchovy spread, and fresh spring vegetables was simply divine. I especially loved the subtle crunch of the asparagus and the pop of flavor from the tomatoes. It was a bi
