Bagna Cauda
Serves 4.
INGREDIENTS:
For the salad
1 small endive
6 large cauliflower florets
2 medium carrots, peeled
4 radishes
1 small head of radicchio, cut into 1-inch ribbons
For the dressing
6 white anchovies
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, very finely grated or minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
To make the salad, separate the endive leaves, us a mandoline to thinly slice the cauliflower florets, carrots, and radishes. Arrange these and the radicchio on flour plates or one platter
To make the dressing, combine the anchovies, butter, olive oil, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until the anchovies have melted into the sauce and the garlic smells fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lemon zest and juice and the vinegar, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables and serve immediately.
