In this blog post, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to make a mouthwatering garlic-free Bagna Cauda.

What is Bagna Cauda?

Bagna Cauda is a hot dipping sauce that originated in the Piedmont region of Italy. It is typically made with garlic, anchovies, olive oil, and butter. The name “Bagna Cauda” translates to “hot bath” in Italian, referring to the method of dipping various vegetables and bread into the flavorful sauce.

Why Make a Garlic-Free Version?

While garlic is an essential ingredient in traditional Bagna Cauda, it has a strong flavor and can overpower other ingredients. Some people may have an allergy or sensitivity to garlic, or simply prefer to avoid its intense taste. Creating a garlic-free version allows you to savor the unique flavors of the anchovies and other ingredients without the dominance of garlic.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 6 anchovy fillets
  • 2 cloves of garlic (optional)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • A selection of fresh vegetables (carrots, celery, fennel, etc.)
  • Crusty bread for dipping

Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and olive oil together.
  2. If you’re not using garlic, skip this step. Otherwise, add the garlic cloves and cook until fragrant.
  3. Add the anchovy fillets to the saucepan and stir until they dissolve into the oil and butter mixture.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  6. While the sauce is cooling, prepare your selection of fresh vegetables by washing and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and arrange the vegetables around it.
  8. Serve the garlic-free Bagna Cauda with crusty bread and enjoy!
