Silky Bagna Cauda Recipe

Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the anchovies and parsley and cook until the anchovies dissolve into the butter.

Add the crème fraîche, water, and garlic to the saucepan, and slowly bring it to a boil.

Lower the heat and gently simmer for 15 minutes, frequently stirring, until the ingredients have reduced and slightly thickened.

Using a food processor, blender, or stick blender, blend the ingredients together. Check the consistency — if you want it to be more flavorful and thicker, add it back to the pan and simmer for longer.

Serve warm in a bowl with a little reserved olive oil, and dip with crudites and fresh bread.
