Ingredients

Olive oil
8 cloves garlic, minced
6 anchovies, optional
Large pinch chili flakes
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon minced parsley leaves

Directions

In a hot pan, pour a good amount of olive oil in. When the oil starts to warm up, add garlic and turn the flame down.

Add the anchovies, if using (don't worry about mincing them as they will dissolve in the mixture). The anchovies should cook in the garlic oil until the garlic becomes brown and the anchovies dissolve.

When the garlic gets light brown, about 5 minutes, add chili flakes until they toast up and then turn flame off. Add more olive oil and salt and pepper for flavor.

Right before you heat the sauce in your fondue pot, add some minced parsley to cook in the sauce.

This is very close to what I grew up with. If you like Bagna Cauda then also try Emeril's from his Real and Rustic Italian... show. That is just like what my Italian Aunts always made. Yummy! Thanks for a great show & great ideas.Read more

Nope, not optional; absolutely not!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

OK, confession: have not tried this recipie. Why? Says anchovies are, gasp, optional. No way this side of Piedmont. If you... use this recipie, please try it with anchovies - good anchovies - the salt packed tin like Agostino Recca. Use the small oil packed tins and disappointment is guaranteed. It only took me 25 years to learn this. Sure, any item you can't hack can *almost always* be deleted from a recipe but can't recommend its recommendation here.Read more

easy, fast, delicious

This is such an easy and quick recipe, especially if you use already prepared vegetables. However I suggest using half butter... and half olive oil, for richer flavor.Read more

Very good.

Good basic recipe for bagna cauda. Served over grilled fish. Bagna cauda is an Italian dish, not South Dakotan, sorry Nancy.
