Bagna Cauda

This is a wonderful dish from the Piedmonte region of Italy. The name comes from bagno caldo which means "hot bath". It is made by combining butter, olive oil, garlic and anchovies. The mixture is heated and guests use wooden skewers or fondue forks to spear a variety of fresh vegetables which are dipped and warmed.

Yield: 1 1/2 cups of sauce for about 10 -12 servings

Ingredients

1 cup softened butter or margarine
1/3 cup olive oil
3 small garlic cloves, slivered
1 or 2 cans (2 ounces) anchovy fillets, well drained
Bagan Cauda vegetables (allow 1/2 to 1 cup per person)
Crusty bread cut in 1/4 inch slices

Vegetables:
Use a combination of carrots, cauliflower, green beans, cherry tomatoes, green or red peppers, mushrooms, zucchini. All should be washed, dried and cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

Combine the first 4 ingredients in the blender, whirl just until the anchovies and the garlic pieces are finely chopped. Pour into a metal or ceramic fondue pot with a very sturdy base. Heat slowly over a direct flame or medium heat just until the mixture is bubbly. Then turn down to low just to keep the mixture hot enough to lightly brown the vegetables without burning.

To serve, spear a vegetable and swirl in the oil until browned. Hold a piece of bread under the vegetable to catch the flavorful drippings.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
