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.
I N
G R E D I E N T S
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.

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.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups of sauce for about
10 -12 servings.
