Bagna Cauda

Bagna cauda

Bagna means to bathe or dip, and cauda comes from the word caldo meaning hot. When you put that together, what do you get? The most exquisite warm dip! This classic of the mountainous region of Piedmont channels the vibrant flavours of anchovy and garlic (just like our old friend the Cesar salad), but wraps them in a soft, luscious, creamy texture. This perfectly balanced goodness will do wonders for your typical summer crudités, but will also elevate the more rustic fall veggies such as celeriac and radicchio. Rich, yet delicate. Crowd-pleasing, yet elegant. It’s the magic of Italy in a dip!

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic and rosemary, and cook gently until the garlic softens.
  2. Add the anchovies and mash them into the hot oil.
  3. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until thickened slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Remove the rosemary sprig, stir in the parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve warm as a dip with vegetables, such as grilled radicchio wedges, fennel, cherry tomatoes, roasted celeriac wedges, or crostini and grissini. Buon appetito!
