Bagna Caôda, a Hot Anchovy Dipping sauce is a classic of the Piedmont region of France. It is normally served in winter (except when it is used as an accompaniment to boiled asparagus spears).
Fry the garlic in the olive oil, but do not let it colour (use a low heat) then add the anchovies and stir. Cook slowly, stirring constantly, until the fish have dissolved and formed a paste.
Place in a warm bowl and immediately bring to the table.
