- Seasonal vegetables (such as baby fennel bulbs, witlof, boiled chat potatoes and baby beetroot, blanched asparagus and Dutch carrots) and sourdough, to serve
METHOD
Melt butter and oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook garlic, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft, but not coloured. Add anchovies and cook, crushing with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until dissolved. Remove from the heat, then stir in the cream until smooth.
