Bagna cauda with summer vegetables

Serves 4

Nothing brings raw veg alive quite like this warm, oily, salty, garlicky dip.

100ml/3½oz olive oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
10 anchovy fillets, chopped
Juice 1 lemon
50g/2oz cold butter, diced
40g/1½oz breadcrumbs

Selection of raw vegetables to serve – we've used baby fennel, young carrots, onions, radishes, baby leeks and beetroots

Heat the oil and garlic in a small pan over a low heat until the garlic is fragrant. Add the anchovies and stir until melted into the sauce. Add the lemon juice, remove from the heat. Allow to cook for a few minutes before transferring to a food processor.

Add the butter and crumbs then pulse to form a thick sauce. Pour into a warm bowl and serve immediately with a large spread of veg to dip in.
