Anchovy Paste (Anchoiade) Recipe



Anchovy Paste (Anchoiade) Recipes

Ingredients :

1 large garlic clove

2 50g (2 oz) cans anchovy fillets in olive oil

10ml (2 tsp) lemon juice

freshly milled black pepper

4 slices of French bread, about 1cm (1/2 inch) thick

Method :

Pound the garlic in a mortar, then add the anchovies together with the oil from the can and pound them until they form a coarse paste. Alternatively, crush the garlic in a food processor, add the anchovies and process quickly; the paste should not be too smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and season to taste with pepper.

Toast the bread on one side only. Spread the anchovy paste on the untoasted side of the hot bread, pressing it in well. Lay the slices in a small gratin dish. Cook at 230C (450F) mark 8 for about 4 minutes or heat the slices under a moderately hot grill. Serve immediately: the slices may be cut into small pieces to serve with drinks.

Serves 4 as a starter, or 8 with drinks

This Provencal specialty may be used in a number of ways. The most usual is to serve it hot, spread on pieces of toast with drinks or as a light snack. Alternatively, it may be served with vegetable crudites.
