BAGNA CAUDA

Steps:

• Put the oil in a pan with the garlic and anchovies and cook over low heat, stirring, until you have a melted, muddy mess. Everything should begin to meld together. Whisk in 6 tablespoons of butter, and as soon as it has melted, remove from the heat and give a few more beats of your whisk so that everything is creamy and amalgamated. Taste, and if you feel you want this as a dipping sauce - which is meant to be pungent but not acrid. If you want the sauce a little more mellow, whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour into a dish that, ideally, fits over a flame so that it does not get cold at the table.
• Dip in the crudites and eat.

BAGNA CAUDA

Steps:

• 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.

BUNYA CALDA (OR BANYA CAUDA)

Steps:

• This is a single batch. As our family is enormous, we will do triple or quad batches to feed everyone.
• Melt butter in a big pot.
• Saute garlic and anchovies. Anchovies should melt away. They add the salty taste to this dish.
• Add remaining ingredients, and cook on med-low for approximately 45 minutes.
• Do not let boil.
• Our family will buy french bread or your favorite Italian bread, cut into chunks, and dip it into the soup.
• We usually have a plate of veggies such as cauliflower, broccoli,celery, green peppers (sliced) and carrots to use for dipping.
• This is a very rich dish, and the veggies taste wonderful when dipped into the soup.
• I am not sure if it is classified as a soup, but we have made it as a main meal. It is a very filling meal too!
