REC: Italian Vegetable Dip (Bagna Cauda)
This is great at parties. Diabetics eat the vegetables while others may
enjoy crusty bread with this. It's quick and easy to make and provides a nice break from the traditional creamed dips. -= Exported from BigOven =- Bagna Cauda (Warm Anchovy Dip) Bagna Cauda, which means hot bath, is a classic sauce from Piedmont, Italy. It is usually kept hot in a pot over a flame, but it can be presented at the table in a serving dish or in individual small bowls without the flame. Raw vegetables cut into bite-size pieces are speared on a long prong like fork and held in the hot sauce for a few seconds. Recipe By: Pete Romfh Serving Size: 8 Cuisine: Mediterranean Main Ingredient: Anchovy Categories: Low Sugar, Diabetic, Atkins-Friendly, Low Carb, No Cook, Simple - Easy, Vegetables, Side Dish, Hors dOeuvres, Appetizers -= Ingredients =- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 4 tablespoon butter ; - (1/2 stick) 6 cloves garlic ; thinly sliced 8 - 10 anchovy fillets ; patted dry, and finely chopped 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ; -Freshly-ground , to taste -= Instructions =- In a small saucepan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add garlic and anchovies. Cook gently for 5 minutes, until garlic is fragrant (but not brown). Stir enough to break up the anchovy fillets info very small pieces. Add pepper to taste. Transfer to a hot pot or heated dish and serve with vegetable crudités and crusty bread. The traditional vegetables eaten with Bagna Cauda are fennel, cauliflower, cabbage and sweet peppers, but any vegetable that is good to eat raw will work fine. The diners dip vegetables into the oil, holding a piece of bread under the vegetable after dipping. After dipping a few pieces, the bread will be fragrant with oil, delicious to eat.
