Method
- 1 Rinse the salted anchovies under cold water and pat them dry. Rinse quickly because the fish will lose its flavor and the base taste will be lost.
- 2 Grind the fish with garlic in a mortar until it forms a smooth paste with no bones left.
- 3 Pour olive oil in a thin stream and stir continuously until the sauce thickens like diluted mayonnaise.
- 4 Add more wine vinegar and pepper, season again but don't add salt because the fish is already salty.
- 5 Serve with toasted bread, bell peppers, and celery sticks for dipping.
